Praise for The Awakener

Helen Weaver’s book was a revelation to me! Although I was a young woman in the fifties, I was there, but I wasn’t there! This is the most graphic, honest, shameless and moving documentary of what the newly liberated women in cities got up to–how they lived, loved and created. Who knew? It is time they did! And here’s how. — Carolyn Cassady, author of Off The Road:
My Years with Cassady, Kerouac, and Ginsberg
Praise for The Daisy Sutra

The Daisy Sutra is a deep and touching story of the soul bond of a human being and her dog through death and beyond. How the author discovers that we can communicate with each other, no matter what our species form, opens a gateway for us all to a richer, feeling experience of our life on Earth.
–Penelope Smith, animal communicator and author of Animal Talk: Interspecies Telepathic Communication

Helen Weaver’s story of her beloved dog Daisy will touch the hearts of all dog lovers. Anyone who has a pet they cherish will be inspired by this deeply felt memoir.
–Dan Wakefield, author of Returning: A Spiritual Journey

For anybody who loves dogs, The Daisy Sutra is a treat. For anybody who just loves animals in general, it’s a challenging eye-opener–as well as a touching and charming book, a kind of person-dog love story.
–Michael Korda, author of Another Life
