Roni L. (dilbretta) - reviewed on 2/20/2010

I have heard some of the negative reviews about that book and the author. I knew that this is a book about her so, of course it's going to be "about her". However, I do see others' point, in that she does seem a little self-consumed, but it IS a memoir ... I read some books focusing on the needs and tragedies on earth, and its a nice change sometimes to live vicariously through someone who can live onto herself, once in awhile. The author is genuine and honest. No one has to agree with her especially her religious perspective. I relate to what she went through in her broken relationships and I understand the need for her to find herself without any questions. Well, only if any of us could just get up and go to 3 countries in a year... 8-)

I found the second part of the book to be a bit tough to get through in the beginning but as she started to "get" the meditation for what it is supposed to be, it got a little easier to read from there. I find myself re-reading paragraphs, rolling the words around my mouth and head. Mostly I envy her, all of her travels, adventures, and journey of self-discovery, and also her writing style. It is beautiful, descriptive, and engrossing. I think any woman who has gone through a not-so-great relationship or low self-esteem/concept will probably relate to this book and the author's experiences.

The book is amazingly written and such a joy to read. Read it, enjoy it! There is a sequel - a book titled "Committed". I might may read this book someday.
