"…a beautiful, peaceful read that
will inspire you to open your soul and quiet your mind… The
story is simple, yet so very deep. One must follow their own path
on this journey of life. Letting go of what we think we know in order
to learn again is the way to develop the soul. This is what life
is for; everyone has a ceremony of change awaiting them." Must
Read!”

"…The reader
is drawn into the book's stunning imagery as the story progresses,
literally taking a simple and humble turtle named Tag on an extraordinary
journey of outer discovery and inner self-awakening . . . This
book would make a wonderful gift, for someone special . . . ike
yourself. . . It is the gift of questions, answers, going away
and finding yourself, and finally, finding your own connection
to every other thing as well as the Source itself - a gift far
greater than any material object I can think of." Read complete

"One of the first truly
unique books of the year! The book promises a story for children
eight to eighty and the author has fulfilled that promise. At first
glance the story is naive and childlike; however upon further inspection
the reader realizes that the message is as deep and mysterious as
life itself… a
search for the spiritual center, the place of ONE… explores
every conceivable human emotion-love, fear, understanding, tolerance,
wisdom and fear. ..(it answers)…questions in all of our minds.
Highly recommended." Read

"Tag, you're It! What a delight to
slowly discover that the main character, Tag, is a turtle, and what
a surprise to gradually realize that Tag is really me. …I
was so grabbed by the story and identified with Tag and all of his
fears, hesitations, curiosity, and need to grow, that I read the
entire book in one sitting. And then found myself reading it again
a week later, gaining even more insight." Read complete review.
