Vision Quests

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: EJ's grief for her lost son is, more deeply, her search for an answer to the problem of death. Many solve this problem through their faith, but EJ is not only the personification of motherhood but of skepticism. The novel presents the fascinating process of EJ's coming to faith. Through Bardsley's excellent characterization of EJ and through the suspenseful movement of the story, we are at one with the steps of the protagonist's journey from agnosticism to her belief in the final credo of her vision-quest: Mitakuye Oyasin. This novel is a must read for all seekers of ultimate truth.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: Vision Quests is the story of a woman, EJ, who has suffered a tragic loss in her life and in seeking recovery has an encounter with an alien. This sounds like a story of science fiction but is actually an uplifting story about relationships, emotional maturing and understand, as well as personal discovery. Although it is fiction, it is well grounded in reality and carries the reader with utter believability. It is clearly a book to appeal not only to those who have suffered painful loss but anyone who enjoys fantasy that is totally possible. The story presents possibilities all people may have considered and makes those possibilities even more real.
