When James Wilder signs up for a yoga retreat, something he's never done before, he's desperate to hit the reset button on life. Divorced, fighting cancer, and convinced he's hearing the whispers of the gods, he writes love poetry inspired by the great Sufi masters, Rumi and Hafiz. And in his wallet, he carries the business card of a beautiful woman he's never met. When she unexpectedly turns up on the mat next to his, everything changes.
From the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, to the turquoise waters of St. John, from the rice paddies of Bali to a dusty trailer park in San Diego, the gods lead James on a spiritual quest to find Great Love. Driven by ideals and bedeviled by his own flaws, he encounters a series of teachers--all female incarnations of Shakti, the Divine Feminine--who guide his evolution as a poet, a yogi, and a man
Review
There is a lot that goes into this novel. It is a combination of different genres and different times. Romance, Drama, Family, Health Issues, and So much More.
John Leslie Lange has written a very compelling novel.
I loved the theme of this novel and the underlying current throughout.
Lange has a beautiful and smooth writing style that was very easy to follow. It makes for a memorable novel.
