I forgot to mention this one I did before. Christine and diane, I would bet my bottom dollar you'll both like this one. Anyone who enjoyed The Alchemist or The Celestine Prophecy would appreciate this book.

quote:

The Compass is a soul stirring narrative of one man’s journey into the depths of self discovery. Following a terrible accident involving Johnathan’s wife and young daughter, he can no longer stand the life he finds himself living. Johnathan simply walks away from it all one day and travels amongst unfamiliar lands and people.

During his unplanned trek Johnathan encounters characters whose outward appearances reflect ordinariness, initially at least. The longer Johnathan spends with them however, the more he learns about how special they are. He also realizes how little time he’s spent paying attention to life’s mystical undercurrents and the connections we have with people that cross our paths, however briefly.

You're very welcome. Honestly, when I was reading it you sprung to mind a few times LOL. It's definitely on your wavelength. :)

Cool! It's by the same girl that wrote the before kids and after kids article I'd mentioned to Christine. She's one of the co-authors.
