Table of ContentsReviewsThe 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.
