Circles in the Sand- An excellent read
This book touched my heart and gave me hope that women can survive abuse in all areas and find the strengthto heal and move forward in ones life. I have worked as a counselor in the area of trauma and abuse, for over twenty years. Themes of healing from trauma and discovering ones sexuality only empower andstrengthen ones soul from the inside out. I could relate to the family of origin wounds for all individuals and the ability for Samadhi to discover, heal, and forgive are truly the answers to findingpeace and serenity within. I was touched by each page of absolute honesty and willingness to share her story. Samadhi, you have changed my life because of this book and reminded me one more time that love does prevail. Thank you.
Impossible to put down!
Samadhi's Circles in the Sand is a thought provoking read that I couldn't wait to finish. It is well written and the story flows from start to finish. This is not one woman's struggle; it is every woman's struggle for equality, self respect and self love. I recommend it to everybody.
What a Gift
When Janice gave me your book to read, she did so with such high expectations for the reader.I am delighted to say that I was not disappointed.Janice did say that our stories are parallel in some instances and I really enjoyed how similar our lives were and how aligned with spirit they are for both of us now.

A treasure
If you have read the book with Mr. Crisps droll, flat voice in your head....you can begin to imagine how much fun the audio version of this book is.His dry wit is very much in evidence here as he shares his unique perspective on life in the "smile and nod racket". There is a God, his name is Crisp, Quentin Crisp.
Crisp has done it again!Justwhen you think you're a maven on things-BOOM- he publishes hisdiaries!What a scandal, although Iamsure some blue nosed puritanproofreader somewhere omitted someof themore "Corrupting evidence",Mr. Crisps personality and always charming style and wit still manageto rise above the parchment at every turn.This is an ideal "Holiday"gift for a freind to takealong whenon a long flight or travel to makethe time seem to "Flyby", as it didfor me when I enjoyed it the firsttime...MyWord!,...I think I shallgo and read it again now.Mr. Crispis timelessand indefatigable... andlike "Miss Jean Brodie", still inhis"Prime"time!Kudo's once againand, Bravo, Mr. Crisp, You are"LaDivine'" indeed! ...

Hilarious, naive, a simpler time!
Cornelia Otis skinner is the real comedienne of this pair of authors and injects a lot more humor into this book, as opposed to most of Kimbrough's solo works.You cannot imagine two more naive college girls traveling about Europe in the 1920's.It was a simpler time, and today has great appeal to one's nostalgic side.If you get a chance to pick up a used copy, do so!

Hilarious!
I've never read the entire book (I'm working on it!) but just excerpts from my eighth grade lit. book, but what I've seen of it is FUNNY! Cornelia Skinner and Emily Kimbrough get into such hilarious circumstances! This is one of the few books I've laughed aloud with!

What a Treat!
If you enjoyed Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but thought the heroines slightly too worldly, you may be delighted by this autobiographical account of two relatively naive girls off for their first continental jaunt.Read more

Book Description
Ferrari's Gay Travel A to Z is an excellent guide to gay businesses, services, and community resources worldwide. The book is quite thorough in its coverage of gay commercial establishements inbig cities and smaller towns alike, and it is very useful for locating gayand gay-friendly tour operators. Arranging a tripthrough a tour operator can make international travel a lot less confusing(and many operators can offer advice onclothing-optional travel opportunities). A to Z is also the best availableresource for information about special-interest travel services, which runthe gamut from all-gay mountain climbing trips toreligious and spiritual events to leather conventions. Additionally, A to Zincludes a calender of gay festivals, parties,and other events across the globe. This is one of the most comprehensiveworldwide gay travel guides available, and it's an exceptional value.
