    About this ebook

    "A hilarious and thought-provoking novel that weaves stories back and forth through time." –Kate Greco, Vice Women's Leader for Canada of Soka Gakkai International (SGI)

    "Marcia [Maguire] opens up a big big space for strange multi-headed, multi-hearted characters to strut their stuff from a hundred or more perspectives." –Dean Fogal, Visual Artist - apprenticed with Marcel Marceau and Etienne Decroux in Paris and Tom Leabhart in the US

    "Wonderful and sublime." –Bill Bissett, author of The Book

    "Reading this book is a rollicking romp with a poet sharing her story of family trauma, injuries inflicted by the Catatonic Church, the poisons of our civilization as well as loves and losses." –Evelyn Wolf, author of Moments of Wonder

    "[Marcia] is a very interesting, capable writer." –Luanne Armstrong, MFA, Ph.D, is a novelist, freelance writer, editor, and publisher.

    "It's a non-linear homage to these humble gurus. Maguire's narrator never stops reflecting on how to be a better human." –Jeff Pew, author of One Foot In
