I've met a lot of adults who read this book and loved it. One was a 72 year old man! So I had to at least read the first of the series. I loved it! So much fun! I read it in 3 days and if I idn't have to work I would have read it in one day. I'm a middle aged woman and I hope I never outgrow enjoying fantasy. If you can't enjoy this, no matter how old you are, then you are a true Muggle of the very worst sort.

Like 'The Way of the Sea' except the subject is the desert. Buy it for someone you care about but read it yourself first. Carefully so it won't look used. There are wonderful thoughts in it and my favorite is a Sufi teaching story. A man knocked on the door. "Who's there?" asked God.
"Me" replied the man. "Go away then," said God.
The man left then and wandered in the arid desert until he realized his error. He returned to the door and knocked again. "Who's there?" asked God.
"You" replied the man.
"Then come in," said God, "There's no room here for two."

I was deeply moved by her account of the agony of watching her child go through heartbreaking operations. Also the love she has for her child who will always look different and the concerns about the thoughtless cruelty he'll encounter in his life. She also shares her joys and how she learned to live in the moment and to appreciate the small pleasures of life. Having a adult child with mild cerebral palsy and my experience with him as a child my heart went out to her. I recommend this book to parents and anyone who loves children.
