Editorial Review:

In this paradigm-shattering book, the author of Women Who Love Too Much describes for readers what years of intense study, reflection, and attention to subtle energies have taught her about the meaning--and the gifts--of adversity. Norwood comforts readers with stories of others who have suffered, stories that reassure them that they are not alone.

A great beginner's course in karma and choices:

I originally bought and read this book in the mid-1990s, after the first printing. It opened up my mind so much that I have to say it changed my life.

Growing towards the light:

This book is NOT for everyone. That is not to say that it shouldn't be.

Unconvincing:

If you do not understand and believe in these ideas before reading this book you probably will not get much out of it. I know I did not. Putting aside the issue of prior beliefs, the author's arguments were not always well supported and sometimes... more info

Fascinating book - it changed my life.:

It helped me understand how my life's events fit into a bigger picture and resolved the nagging question, "Why did this happen to me?".
