Offer Me a Flower is a spiritual love story. In this tale of romance, intrigue, and adventure, Luce, a Tucson, Arizona based counselor, embarks on a quest for the "immortal nectar." The story begins as Luce, age five, encounters first a wolf, then "the Mother," while walking down a snowy trail near her mountain cabin in Pine Hills, California. At age 27, after a wild search through the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona, Luce meets the Mother again. With the Mother as her spiritual guide, she is drawn into darkness--a world of magic, sorcery, terror, and fear--then into events of mythic proportion with her boyfriend, Sam. The Mother's teachings are woven into the tale in messages on the nature of love, suffering, conflict, choice, and the soul.
I received a copy of this book when I got a hug from Amma, the hugging guru. I didn’t think I’d ever read it. But I picked it up on Sunday and didn’t want to put it down. It’s a spiritual journey, so it may not be for everyone. But it inspired and moved me. I journaled quite a bit while reading it and felt a catharsis when I finished. It helped me see some situations in my life with a different lens, ultimately leading to some healing. I’m grateful I got this book and read it when I did.
