Laura Stamp has won awards and written books before this one (although
this
is the first of hers I have seen). That isn't what impressed me when I
started reading. What did impress me was the easy-going, homey style of
her
writing; her character development (a few words here and there conveying
vivid impressions); and her feel for feline behavior.
I admit it, being a cat-lover myself I can identify with the feral cat
rescue theme which runs through the four stories which compose this book.
I
can also feel her understanding of feline behavior (even if the whys are
incomprehensible to mere humans).
None of these stories are ABOUT Wicca, even though they are about Wiccans.
They are each, in their own way, inspirational stories. I wouldn't
recommend them for people looking to learn Wicca, but I DO recommend them
for those looking to learn how to integrate spirit, and spirituality, into
their daily life.
There are insights scattered throughout this book. They may be profound
truths (although they may be for you). And they are not all obvious.
Many
of them will sneak up on you, either after you finish reading or while
re-reading. And you will re-read it. The stories are pleasant and
enjoyable.
If you are looking for some light reading, this is the book for you.
