    I love it when I come across a title that has valuable information and insight that applies to my life today. I found this just at the right time. Thanks Universe!

    25 May: I loved this book! This is one that will be on a shelf close, where I can reach it and be reminded of its valuable content. I am now reading The Alchemist online. Paulo Coelho has a Facebook page and provides you a link to read his book for free online. I still plan on buying a copy but I was eager to read more of his books!

A poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life

Rarely does an adolescent love reach its full potential. What happens when, after eleven years, two lovers come together again? Pilar has become an independent and strong woman. Her childhood friend has become a handsome spiritual leader. She has learned to bury her feelings, while he has turned to religion as a refuge from his inner conflicts.

Together they embark on a journey that is initially fraught with difficulties, as blame and resentment resurface after years of being hidden. But by the River Piedra, in a small village in the French Pyrenees, they discuss many of life's big questions ad reevaluate their own special relationship.
