"This book brings us back to what we already know but need to remember-that we are all connected, with each other and the earth; that we are spiritual beings living in temporary vessels; that there is a wellspring of goodness and wisdom that we can access if only we would slow down and pay attention; that we need to stop, or at least slow down, in order to find our true selves and our true paths. The author tells the tale so beautifully through stories of people like you and me who have lost their way. The second-person narration is effective in putting the reader in the seat of the one who discovers, re-members, and comments on the stories and their lessons for us. In addition, there are wonderful and lovable Wise Ones who illuminate the truth and the way. Entering the world of this book felt like walking into a warm and sun-filled garden.

"This book was truly magical. I found myself crying healing tears and reflecting deeply after each section. The format of Enchanted drew me in right away; it is a bit like reading a relaxing and curiosity-kindling guided meditation at first. Then-the real magic happens, as we enter into the perspectives of the various characters alongside the narrator. It reminds us of the love and light that can sustain us and bring us together, if we let it." Emily Rose, English Literature Teacher and Poet
