Sharing Reviews

A dear friend who lives part-time in Pennsylvania and part-time in Colorado has given Dancing on Mars as a gift to several of her friends in both places!  She let me know that one of them posted a review, and here it is.  I hope to meet her one of these days and say thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Sitting Down With A Friend, July 30, 2012

If you'd like to measure your personal growth against someone who has been there, done that, read Lucinda Shirley's journey toward inner peace and contentment.
Reading Dancing on Mars is like sitting down with a friend and talking about topics that every woman reflects on for herself, but checks her impressions against others that she likes and respects. You might share events that sent you down one path or another; you might confer about allowing yourself to decorate whatever space you call home to suit yourself. You'd no doubt talk about religion versus spirituality, and about places, authors, and personalities that have influenced your lives.
No moralizing, no lurid tragedies, just good companionship. This is what you find while gliding through the pages of Dancing On Mars. You may even find yourself inspired to recount your own story of acceptance and celebration, of becoming who you are, of being yourself.

The following review further validates what some readers have been telling me all along:  The book is appealing to women across the age spectrum!  Of course that makes me happy.

As the song says, "Money can't buy me love," and that's something I keep in mind.  This book isn't making me rich in dollars; however, readers are making me feel every day that every hour, week, month and year have been worthwhile.  Thank each of you for making this a rich experience by giving Dancing on Mars and me your generous support!

As a 20-something growing woman, I feel this book is fantastic for any age. The pages are filled with beauty, insight, and humor that kept me turning one after the other. Her spiritual journey I found most interesting because I went through a similar experience of giving up the social norms and traditions of religion and moving to a more personal and profound spirituality. I can't wait to share this jewel with my girlfriends!
