Very moving

This book has moved me in ways I never thought possible. The woman's trek for purpose and being have pulled many thoughts to mind. So many pages have been dog-eared to read again. I normally do not reread books, but I have read this one three times. Each time I gather new thoughts and warmth from the words. I encourage you to read if you've ever considered (even just a little bit) that life may have something waiting for you .

The White Stone-Coming of Age and Being

This is a wonderful book! It deals with a young woman's quest to find herself, and meaning, in the world. As many of us who grew up and were educated in the 1980's, this young woman pursued a career that paid, in terms of money, but not necessarily in terms of satisfaction and happiness. The young woman realizes that something is missing, and she takes the opportunity (many would say risk) to pursue what is important in life, which ends up being many things (which I will leave future readers to learn). I think many readers will be able to relate to the world that the main character faces, as many of us have tried to balance work and expectations with personal satisfaction.In the process, the main character meets many wonderful individuals who teach her something about herself and the world. The reader also gets a sense of life away from the rat-race, since much of the book takes place in the American Rockies. And, the novel is well-written; it is full of humor and descriptive passages.For anyone who has thought seriously about their career, and whether or not their chosen career was the right "match" for them, this novel may make them think about evaluating life. For those who have taken the risk of exploring other careers, or completely "dropping out" of their chosen job or career, this novel will hopefully re-affirm the rightness of doing so.
