This book really touched me in a way that I haven't felt in some time. All of the characters are so well developed, and the imagery is very powerful. Mara's unique take on life is so uplifting and you really feel Daniel's sadness and separation from the world. I really fell in love with Earl and Edith. I can't wait to find more of McLaren's work.

Church of the Dog
by Kaya McLaren

This 225 page novel was an endearing and magical read about love, life and most of all about people and how the power of spirit can work miracles. I found the rotating first person style of the author to be a little unsettling at first, but when I got used to it I was amazed cause it brought a 3 dimensional quality to the book I hadn't expected.

The special thing about this story was that it addressed spiritual principles in a very pleasing an indirect way, kind of like taking your medicine with the proverbial spoonful of sugar. Another helpful feature of this sweetie was the suggested book study questions at the end. The gifted heroine of this eye-opening tale made me ever mindful of the pleasure, pain and sense of duty that comes with being a light worker. I would recommend this poignant buddy to anyone who needs or want some feel good energy in their life. Thanks Kaya, I got it.

Love & Light,
