Varanasi is the City of Light created by the fiery Hindu god Shiva. So holy it wipes clean the karma of those who surrender to her embrace, Varanasi is also the last known location of Raj—the guru stepfather who abandoned Micah Connerly and his mother at a California commune twenty years ago. Raj taught Micah two things before he left—everything is an illusion and we choose our own illusions. With his life imploding, Micah flees to India to search out Raj and sort through the wreckage. On his way to confront an ashram priest who knows Raj’s whereabouts, Micah helps an injured man—a noble act that imperils Micah’s life. In exchange for medical treatment, Micah volunteers at a hospice where he becomes embroiled in the lives of his fellow volunteers, including the enigmatic Kate, whose broken heart Micah longs to repair. Micah’s ongoing search reawakens the philosophies Raj taught him as a child, even as it puts him on a collision course with calamity. Desperate, Micah appeals to Shiva, a fickle god who might tear your arm off one moment and smother you with blessings the next. Shiva is ever on the lookout for selfless souls to assist, and he’s turned his benevolent eyes toward Micah. Will it be enough?

About the Author Kristine Madera is a speaker, bestselling author and Soul-Centered Business Coach. She sees writing as an opportunity to dive deep and bring to the surface hidden truths, whether through fiction or non-fiction. Writing novels indulges her love of the transformational power of travel. Plunging herself (or her characters) in the unfamiliar illuminates hidden patterns and awakens an appreciation and understanding of the world that is almost impossible when surround by the familiar. She’s traveled through books since she learned how to read. As a child, she loved to pull out a volume of the World Book Encyclopedia, find an exotic locale and imagine what life would be like if she lived there. She had an ongoing fantasy about living in with a caravan of Bedouin nomads, but the closest she got was a camel ride at the edge of the Sahara with a guide who claimed to be Bedouin. Her travels include an eight-month trek through India, Sri Lanka & Nepal, student exchanges in Australia and England, teaching English in Japan, and backpacking in the days before cell phones and the Internet to China, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Western Europe. She was also a Peace Corps Volunteer in Papua New Guinea and has traveled backpack-style in the South Pacific.

I really loved the setting and the weaving in of Hinduism, gods and goddesses. I felt such peace and calm in the ending. Lovely novel!

It’s not a new treatment of a well-known and beloved formula. It cannot be described by categories like “romance” or “magic realism”. It’s not “genre fiction of any kind.It’s difficult to classify, but if it has any grandparents in literature, it might be a descendant of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, in a thoroughly good way.It’s layered. It’s filled with an exoticism that is only partially the result of being set in India. It’s philosophical, and yet it gives itself distance from its introspection by seeing this world through an unabashedly expat lens.It asks the reader to stare into the abyss of fear and depression and yet, it is ultimately redemptive as a young man comes to terms with his own flawed nature and his fractured and abandoned past. It asks the reader to ask themselves how or even if they could come back from their own worst selves.I will admit that the first few chapters drag a bit, and could have benefited from a tighter editing – but ultimately, this is a book worth reading. It has the kind of introspective tumbling-through-time quality that marries western self-critique to eastern parables in a pretty engaging way.It’s also a book you might need to read more than once.

I have to admit that I bought the book because of the name and the cover, and of course to support a friend. The Hindu Pantheon never held much appeal for me but the story made me look at it in a new light. Micah's journey is more than just a journey, it's a pilgrimage, a rite of passage. The story itself is more than just a story, it's an allegory, it prompts us to take a deeper look at life through different lenses. This book is certainly unique in its own way among the many spiritual novels published recently. It can be a light or "heavy" read, depending on how much you like to ponder. A big congratulation to Kristine for her debut novel. I am sure the Sunflower is very pleased !
