"Though a memoir of an individual journey, From Pebbles to Pathways along the way reveals universal truths about the human condition. In relentlessly questioning the meaning of relationships, emotional responses and life experiences, the book's raw honesty and innocence gives it an unusual, page-turning power. Not only does the past not make us, it says, but trust in the strange but wondrous ways of the universe will reveal a perfect pattern to our lives. In the author's case, this only became fully apparent in the process of writing. Yet in the tradition of great spiritual autobiographies, deeply personal insights can trigger insights and realizations in the many. An exemplary 21st century spiritual work."

“An intimate and powerful memoir that catapults the reader through an insightful journey.

The depth and honesty of this book surprises as it exemplifies one woman's real process of coming to terms with herself and healing the heart. From Pebbles to Pathways is a compelling glimpse into the journey of a formidable woman who’s early life was spent struggling to find security and safety, and loosing herself along the way. Through her relentless commitment to well-being, and her riveting inner and spiritual journeys, we watch her courageously create a life of fulfillment. The stories in each chapter, and the profound insights that follow, inspire the reader to find the good in oneself, the courage to love, and recognize the endless opportunities life has to offer, regardless of circumstance.”

Margaret Paul, Ph.D., best-selling author and co-creator of Inner Bonding® and SelfQuest®

“All teachers must first be pupils. As they grow, the blank slate with which they began life becomes colored in hues often dark—the ragged scars of growing, learning, and loving. The trick, Donna Thomas tells us in her sometimes harrowing memoir, From Pebbles to Pathways, is to divine the lessons from the damage, the light from the sorrow, and to absorb—and, ultimately, impart—the wisdom that ensues. Somewhat to her own surprise, Thomas evolved into one of life’s teachers, a healer of uncommon grace and intuition. As readers will discover, her path to that point was never assured, given her troubled, emotionally removed parents and the litany of abuses and calamities to which Thomas was subjected. What is striking about the book is not just the clarity the author brings to her own healing, but her talent in discerning the lessons all of us should be learning.”

Nick Madigan, former correspondent for The New York Times and The Washington Post
