connects the dots, notes, and octaves between healing the self, healing society, and healing the earth. "
is a work of genius. It is the right book at the right time." -- Altai Books Davis' writing also sings, like her impossible multi-octave range, in a voice free of gender, culture, and even species.

lives up to the weighty promise of its subtitle." --
