Customer Reviews

A great read for a long weekend

The story is excellent and certainly kept my attention. The side stories worked very well also. It obviously a result of enormous research and energy. I have read a lot of novels and ranked this one right up there not only for the story itself but because I found great education in it as well. Not only is there great entertainment value with the story there is a lot of knowledge about World War 2 Germany and the Gypsy world. Facts that most of us don't know. - Ronald Coleman, Construction Industry consultant, speaker and author.

A thought-provoking page-turner

Romance, adventure, history, philosophy--- what else could you ask for? A thought-provoking page-turner that illuminates a little-known period of history and makes it relevant for today. Highly recommended. Matt Weinstein author, Gently Down The Stream

loved this book

This book is not only an completely engrossing read, it nicely describes something I wholeheartedly believe in: living your life as a work of art. I was drawn into the story easily, and as it unfolded, I found myself really enjoying the way the main character developed. Her awakening to her self made this story much more than your average adventure. Knowing that this book is a fictionalized version of real events in the author's life makes it all the more potent. As much as I liked reading it, I can't wait to see the movie! - Sarah Fisk, PhD

Stays with you

The Change Artist brings you in slowly,then grabs you and you cannot put the book down. When you finish the book the process has just begun because you keep thinking about it and how it relates to your life. It's wonderful.

Fascinating journey, rollercoaster ride of a read

Well written, impeccably researched. It keeps you reading all the way through. Carla has written a book about people you probably know - your parents, your grandparents who had to do many things they have never talked about in order to survive WW II and Hitler's rampage across the contintent. If you have family that was affected by this war and you want to understand how they became who they are, this book is for you. Many people had to become change artists to survive. It is a testament to creativity, to finding your own power and reuniting some of the lost souls of the past so they can rest in peace today.
