Will Lorna come to understand that living spiritually has little to do with how you pretzel yourself on the yoga mat and everything to do with embracing the twists in everyday life?
by Meryl Davids Landau
In this novel, Lorna Crawford has a great boyfriend, longtime friends and a well-paying job as special events coordinator at a premium ice cream manufacturer. But, out of sorts and filled with self-doubt, the 33 year old realizes that what she really wants is to stay on the spiritual path she keeps diving off of.
Lorna jump-starts her efforts at a silent yoga retreat. But after returning, she loses her spiritual connection in the face of scheming coworkers, judgmental girlfriends and, especially, her overly critical mother.
She also wrestles over her future with her boyfriend, a sexy guy who takes her to the hottest places, but who cannot discern a meditation cushion from a toad stool.
Reading spiritual books and visiting a channeler and energy healer move Lorna forward, but her confusion remains. Her seeking is put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes.
Will she come to truly understand that living spiritually has little to do with how you pretzel yourself on the yoga mat and everything to do with embracing the twists in everyday life?
