About the author

Who am I? From a spiritual perspective, I am one who sought to understand, always asking the question “why?” of God. I particularly wanted to know why we humans have to suffer so greatly while on Earth. I wanted to understand in an attempt to end my own suffering. What followed was a journey, over 20 years, to seek answers. I have gained some understanding, and I have a lot more to acquire. What I do know for sure is this: we are souls on a journey of spiritual development on Earth. Each stage of this journey has specific lessons we must learn, and areas to reach in consciousness in order to evolve spiritually.

From a personal perspective: I have been a Marylander for my entire life. I love to travel internationally. I have a Master’s Degree in Education and a Bachelor’s of Arts degree with a specialization in Journalism and the Humanities.

There are so many wonderful things about this book! I love the symbolism, the metaphors, the imagery, the authenticity. If you are about to read this book, chances are that you have a spiritual background. If you do not, I would recommend that you have a Bible or google by your side to help you to understand some of the references in this book. They are absolutely wonderful references and the author is able to really make the reader engage and think about their own journey. Without giving too much information away, the cover of the book will be your guide throughout this reading. The author explains how we, the readers, go about our life journey and the different stages that we encounter. I didn't think that I was going to like this approach at first, until I found myself identifying to a "T" with what the author was stating. I felt as if Penelope was inside my head and telling me exactly what has been happening in my own life up until this point. As the book continued, I felt as if she were speaking directly to me and giving me the advice that I have been needing to continue on my life path. There is so much insight packed into this little book that I felt as if I could read a chapter a day and it be a little sermon or daily meditation. It is a very intriguing read and I would recommend it to anyone. If you have faith in a higher power or are feeling a little lost on your journey through life, I recommend that you take a look at this book for yourself. You're bound to have that moment when you feel as if the author is inside of your own mind. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Interesting read that takes readers on a journey. We all have questions about why we are here, what we are doing and where we are going. Even if you are not a religious person there is something to learn from this book that takes a look inside each of us and searches for answers and truths. By looking in our own soul and learning to love ourselves we can then take what we learn and share that love and understanding with others. The author has captured that idea in this book and it is definitely worth the read.

In Compass, Yorke both shares her own experiences with finding her purpose and building a relationship with God, and also helps guide the reader through their own journey by using what she has learned. She starts out with her own experiences and reaching personal and spiritual low, when she felt lost in her job and life even though she seemed to be experiencing success as others define it (financial, professional, etc.). Soon she had left her job, been in a terrible accident, and experienced the tragedy of a family member passing away. This lead to her being lost in terms of her physical and spiritual life. She worked through the confusion or ‘wilderness’ and began her spiritual journey. This was an interesting look into someone’s personal story and spiritual journey, and I think could be helpful for others that find themselves lost or overwhelmed with their circumstances and looking for positive change in their lives.
