Review by David Spangler: ‘I began looking at your manuscript and was caught up in the flow and narrative of your life, with the result that I could not put it down and have now finished it. That’s what constitutes a good read.
You really are a good writer. In addition to the stories of your own life, with which I would imagine, many people of all generations could find some identification, you give an in-depth insight into the early years of Findhorn that I haven’t found elsewhere. I think the Community comes alive in your narrative.
You have had an amazing journey, my friend, your life has given you many insights and much wisdom to draw upon.’

I live very simply in this land I love. On returning to the area with my daughter Jade, I found joy in volunteering in the life of the Community; until Covid, then everything changed.



I read Anniese’s manuscript many years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly! I wholly agree with David Spanglers commentary. Again warm congratulations Anniese!
