Praise for The Awakener

A lover of words and language, Weaver—immortalized in Kerouac’s Desolation Angels as Ruth Heaper—writes this book “as an act of atonement” to Kerouac: “I rejected him for the same reason America rejected him: he woke us up in the middle of the night in the long dream of the fifties. He interfered with our sleep.” — Publishers Weekly
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
