This book was a great book to have for class. The details are well explained.

Elinna Serru believed in the S'hazons, why did what Mesor suspected have to be true? After all, they had guided and helped their people for a thousand years. They were their gods that were teaching them the power of Khi, power to bless their land, heal their sick,uncover secrets of the mind and open doors to other dimensions. Now it would all be gone!

This is where the excellent story of Dayspring Destiny begins. Elinna, a Master in the House of Lohenrin bids the S'hazons adieu along with many of her fellow healers as they travel to escape a comet that will soon destroy her beloved planet Gaea. But that was not the only reason the S'hazons were taking the healers with them; no, they planned to merge their spirits with the healers and once again be able to walk in a human body. Only Elinna does not realize their hidden agenda until later.

Elinna must learn the secret of the healing stones and continue her studies into the power of Khi so she and the ones left behind may somehow prevent the comet from destroying their planet; and continue to heal the sick and bless the land.

The people of Gaea are torn however, as some chose to return to their beliefs in the gods of old, The Sky Gods and a temple is erected for their worship. Elinna's own father is part of this ancient belief, and her childhood friend. What connection do the Sky Gods have with the S'harons? That part you will have to find out for yourself, but I'll tell you this, it's what the story is all about.

Elinna struggles with her hurts over the betrayal of the S'hazons and is not wanting so quickly to believe in yet other gods, but these gods chose to contact Elinna with messages that may well save their planet and rescue those who the S'harzons have taken.

The story twists in and out, dealing with Elinna's emotions, her struggle with her beliefs, her family and friends, her responsibility to her planet and her suppressed love for Mesor.

Ms. Berry weaves a very interesting plot and adds a little flavor of spice with Elinna's rekindled affections for Mesor, a love she had put on hold so she could direct her attention to help her people. Elinna finds out about a very important family secret as she strives to stand against forces that may take her world away from her forever. Will this information save her and her world?

Are you interested in the Spirit world? If so, this book is for you, as the author pens a fantasy of sci-fi action with spiritual implications, weaving the two into an intriguing adventure. A very good read!

Take a rural hometown, some quirky down home characters, a wise cracking Police Department and the usual family stress of the Easter holiday, blend them with murder and mayhem and you have a unique, humorous mystery called Death and the Easter Bunny by Linda Berry.

Trudy Roundtree has had enough happen in her life... her husband was killed in a hunting accident. Later she returns to her hometown after a failed romance. When Trudy doesn't know where to go or what to do, her cousin Hen, short for Henry, hires her as a police officer. After investigating the latest fire and death in Ogeechee Trudy learns it's really murder. Since the other officers are out of commission with a rash they picked up while hiding in the woods on stake out, Trudy takes the lead in investigating using the help of the Ogeechee kudzu vine (Georgian for Grapevine), the volunteer fire marshal, and some of Ogeechee's other interesting citizens. While she's sleuthing she also deals with an alien visit, a family that loves to be mirandarized and cousin-in-law holding a grudge.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. It's witty, humorous and up front. Trudy doesn't just investigate a crime, she introduces us and gives us insight on her hometown, her family and her friends. Trudy is a woman with a quick wit and can take what ever comes in stride and go on. When you read it, you too will feel her confidence and shake your head in agreement at her hometown wisdom.

fun and exciting-all her books are great

I loved the decorating ideas in the book. It is amazing how you can add pizazz to a lifeless space with a simple arrangement. I was able to easily incorporate the suggestions into the color scheme and decor of my home. I highly recommend this book to amateur decorators like me.

As an environmental economist, I find Milani's treatment of much the same territory as Hawken/Lovins/Lovins to have a much broader vision. The key concept Milani introduces is regenerative economics, in contrast to the increasingly conventional notion of sustainability. As the name suggests, Milani's approach is about designing economic activity so as to improve, not simply maintain natural systems. While Hawken/Lovins/Lovins are awash with technical detail and appeals to the business ethics, Milani asks us to consider community organizing as a key element to green economics.

All Jo Berry's books are awesome. They break down children's dilemmas and challenges into bite-sized steps and help them understand what's going on even if the solution takes time to begin working completely in their lives.

You will read nothing else like it and spend the rest of your life searching for something comparable.

One of the things I particularly like about Dawn Bradley Berry's work is her equal attention to pragmatic legal detail and human emotion and behavior. This book is fantastic because not only does it provide logistical and strategic procedural guidance to the divorce process, it provides the reader with encouragement and a source of solace.

Divorce, even in the best of circumstances, is difficult and unsettling. It is refreshing to see an author provide resources for the wide range of issues that are likely to arise, whether in the court hearing or in the psyche. Berry writes in a clear, compassionate manner, and her readers will come away much enlightened and educated at a time in life when everyone could use a comforting word.

Highly recommended.
