The Awakening is one of those rare books that tugs at your heart
while intriguing the mind. The history of Spain in a time of
unrelenting fascism and threat of war was a wonderful setting in
which to reveal the goodness of simple people who carried their
own, often complex, secrets. The country doctor opens her heart to
the stranger and, in doing so, embraces a new world from whence her
own fears are affirmed and accepted. The Awakening is a merry,
thought-provoking gem in the genre of The Alchemist, but with a
twist. It is an elegantly written novel of the human condition.”
Torena O’Rorke, author of Gemini Girl Murders and other Astrology
Mysteries
The story is an intricately weaved narrative, exquisitely written,
with characters that come alive in both their complexity and their
humanity. The book flows seamlessly from past to present and from
scene to scene. The author has the gentle touch of an artist and
the clear voice of compassion.” Michael Pieracci, professor of
humanities, Washington State University Tri-Cities
This is a story worth telling, which, along with the intrigue, has
a useful message. . . . It’s a fashion show of metaphors.” Allen
D. Brecke, 2013 Tri-Citian of the Year and recipient of the
American Red Cross Heart of Humanity award
"The Awakening weaves effortlessly through time, from the
battle-scarred streets of Spain in 1936 to nearly 60 years later .
. . the author brilliantly illustrates the restorative power of
time.” Katelyn Orum, Washington State Magazine
