An incredible story told in such a simple manner!, April 20 2001
By Larry G. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Off To Sea: A Romance (Hardcover)
I didn't know what to expect when I was given this book. I must say that its simple message is indeed powerful and a quick page turner to boot! It comes off as a children's book, but no, no, no, it is certainly not.
This book will make the feelings that you are trying to articulate easy to understand without going overboard. The person who gave it to me was trying to do just that.
And succeeded.

This Storybook May Save Your Marriage, Oct 30 2008

Shame on me! I should have written this review a long time ago. You see, I discovered this gem back in 1990 and used it in a couples group I was leading at the time. I am now a 21-year veteran psychotherapist and continue to use this great storybook. In fact, my wife and I will be using this very book as the entire basis of a 6-hour marital training at a local Catholic church here in the Indianapolis area this weekend.
What makes this storybook so cool is that it follows the course of marriage from beginning bliss, through disillusionment and then into the beautiful mature love a couple can have if they're willing to work through the challenge of disillusionment.
And all this in a short storybook. Brilliant.

Perfect, May 29 2003

Though it's written in the context of a story about two lovers, the deeper message of the book is one for every human, every critter.
The book is a beautifully simple but profound little story that whispers a reminder to us all at our deepest levels to remember our soul origins and our energetic connection to Every Thing that is. All-One.
Book is so perfect I sent it to a couple of friends and bought an extra copy for myself!
The illustrations are sweet and juvenile. Gets the point across!
