Thanks for including me among your goodreads friends, Sophie. Here's wishing you all success, with your writing and in all other ways as well.
I hope you won't think it too forward of me if I ask you to take a look at my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. It's fiction but is inspired by events from my own life.
Namaste, jesse
