That my heart’s voice called from a place within where I could not ignore it, or that its tone often played a melody completely different to the melody of others, was something I understood early on.
Whether this was my karma’s payback or my blessing was not yet known to me.
Neither did I understand that my journey from “person” to conscious presence had begun already long ago.
I did not know, either, what I was getting myself into.
The only thing I knew for sure was that, despite my protesting mind, my flagging steps were directed towards a sailboat destined to cross the Indian Ocean.
A book where you get to follow a challenging time in someone’s life, when deep reflections on the existence and purpose of humanity arise. A book full of wisdom, insights and excitement. A book that is written to be experienced not only with the mind, but also with the soul / heart.

”An incredibly beautiful book”
I read through the book in a single evening. Amazingly beautifully written, with many lovely reflections on life. A book with great presence and energy. I absolutely recommend this book to everyone wanting to read a slightly different novel with verve and zing, as well as deep thoughts.

”One of my favorite books of 2018”
One of my favorite books in 2018 was ”TigerLily, Early Spring Blooming.” A book the author herself describes as ”spiritual fiction.” It is the wonderful story of TigerLily, who lives a hectic life in New York but has begun to feel something is missing. Is this truly what is most important in life?

”Well-written and exciting”
A very nice book that describes the beautiful within the small; and makes us pause and wonder. Well-designed characters in a story containing both wisdom and insight, as well as humor. Both well-written and exciting.

Den bästa bok jag läst på länge! Solklar topp 10! Det kändes som om jag själv var med på segelbåten och upplevde varje saltsänkt våg, varje stjärnfall, varje andetag av smärta i de brutna revbenen och allt Val i boken upplevde. Detta var inte bara berättelsen om en resa över Indiska Oceanen utan den djupare resan inåt. Reflektioner som är beskrivna på ett otroligt vackert och levande sätt och som talar till mitt eget hjärta. Boken är händelserik och spännande samtidigt som den gör mig lugn och harmonisk och jag kunde inte lägga ifrån mig den-ville inte att den skulle ta slut. Jag tänker på att den här lilla flickan med sönderslagen kropp, i ett mycket svagt fysiskt skick helt plötsligt finner sig i en situation och på en upptäckts-resa som visar att hon besitter en styrka och storhet långt bortom det fysiska. Iren visar oss med sina vackra beskrivningar av Val's reflektioner vilken skatt som finns inom oss alla. Jag kan ärligt säga att denna bok berörde mig och mitt hjärta på samma sätt som Paolo Coelho och Robin Sharma gjort med sina böcker. Jag kan starkt rekommendera denna boken!
