This book was well written and I really got my emotions involved with her thoughts and feelings. I found myself very much with her...on her travels.

I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down.

So much of what Marilyn went through was a mirror image of my life. I was also brought up to please, to be the peacemaker and responsible for things going smoothly. Deep down I always felt something was wrong with this picture but until middle age was unable to see clearly.

Marilyn is a very strong and courageous lady and I admire her openness in allowing us to view the steps that led her to the point she is now. I learned a lot about myself from her book and suggest that any woman over 40 would garner a great deal from reading this wonderful autobiography.

Thank you Marilyn. I am looking forward to your next book.

Questing Marilyn was more like Questing Me! I am a singer-songwriter-actress, and so many personal issues and emotions of my own were addressed in her book. It was great to read about someone that experienced many of the same feelings I have had and also to realize that I was not the only one to be asking these questions. I can accept that I shouldn't understand the personal makeup of other people but why am I kept a secret from me? I have read many self help books and done a lot of work on myself, but this book answered so many of my questions. It also helped me see where things in my past fit into making me the person I am now. It was like getting a lot of personal counseling while I was totally engrossed in the exciting storyline. In fact, I kept holding off reading the last ten or so pages just because I didn't want the adventure to end. What courage it must take to allow readers into your personal life. I truly thank Marilyn for that because I found answers to some of my questions. I can't wait to read her next book. Thank you Marilyn for being so brave.

When an author allows the reader to follow along with them and to really be able to experience what they experience, the best way for me to describe this is as an Honour. Marilyn allows the reader to travel along, through reading, on her personal Quest to reconnect with her Higher Self. Through her descriptive writing techniques, professional and personal insight, overwhelming honesty, and beautiful pictures, Marilyn helped me to look at myself in a different light. I have been inspired to continue to listen to my inner voice and never forget the things that make me happy to be me. Thank you Marilyn, for sharing your Quest.

All women over forty should read this book. It is frank and honest and I feel as if the author has allowed me to read the pages of her personal journal. Through this openess you share Marilyn's journey as she visits the sacred places of England and Ireland. As a woman this book makes you feel less alone because it brings with it the realization that no matter where we are in this world at some point after forty many of us go through the same soul searching of our lives.
