"It is rare indeed to read a memoir of such transparency and honesty. It was not Bonny's plan to fall madly in love with a Brother in the religious life. She decided to not be fearful of love and immersed herself in the journey at a depth that goes beyond measurement. She also reveals the growth she experienced from grief, and how she learned to become unafraid of death. This masterful work inspired me with its kaleidoscope of courage, humor and compassion."

"The story, the writing, and the energy of love from every page made it impossible for me to put the book down. It is a beautiful, beautiful book filled with passion, great story telling, deep insight, unbridled joy as well as tragedy and heartbreak. I loved every page and feel that this book will make a significant contribution to people's experience with love and their capacity to open to it.
This is a book for lovers. This is a book for people who long for love. This is a book for everyone. It is beautifully written, and it carries the reader gracefully through the mountains and valleys of opening oneself fully to love and to be loved. I give it my highest recommendation."

"If you're interested in how the sweat, faith and genius of a few heartful people transformed the orchards and dairy farms of the Napa Valley into one of the greatest wine-making regions in the world, this book is for you. If you're interested in the spiritual alchemy that can transform lead to gold, can draw four cards on a bad hand and end up with a royal flush, or can find love everywhere and in everything and transform grief into a new life, this book is also for you."
-Don Joseph Goewey, former Director of the Center for Attitudinal Healing and author of The End of Stress, Mystic Cool, and Fishing for Fallen Light.
"At times heart-wrenching but always heart-touching, Meyer's courageously candid memoir of her passions personal and professional deserves to be read by anyone searching for meaning. She delivers at the same time a lively page in the storied history of Napa. This tale is uplifting for wine-lovers, and lovers, period."
-Stephen O'Shea, historian and author of The Alps: A Human History from Hannibal to Heidi and Beyond and Sea of Faith: Islam and Christianity in the Medieval Mediterranean World.
"Meyer takes us on a captivating journey into passion as she bravely and tenderly recounts the life she shared (and continues to share) with her now deceased husband and her God, proving that life and love are eternal. Part memoir, part relationship guide, part grief counseling book, this is a heart-expanding tale for anyone who wants to know the depths of real love."
-Karen Brailsford, author of Sacred Landscapes of the Soul.
