A life-changing book
The Kin of Ata are Waiting F= or You is a life-changing book in my experience.

Issues of honesty, lov= e and community spirit are throughout the book. The reader cannot help bu= t be confronted by parallelisms to their own life, but the book is writte= n in a way that self-enlightenment is not fully confrontational, rather t= he concepts are easy to swallow, thanks to Dorothy Bryant's writing skill= s.

I would heavily suggest this book to anyone concerned with today's c= ulture and how to become a beacon in the midst of social flak and plastic= ity.

It is a real life-changer!

The most haunting = novel I have ever read...
I read this book in Mexico at a f= riends house while on vacation. Its the most significant thing of that we= ek. Gave me an incredible insight into the nature of dreams, and causes a= n incredible paradigm shift between what is real and important, and what = is not. Fascinating little culture that haunts the memory with unforgetta= ble imagery. A most important and unique book!

a blueprint for a new civilization
For any= one committed to a return to tribal values, to alternative healing modali= ties, to the power of dreams, this novel is a sourcebook. It shows the wa= y to cure our emotional chaos and our spiritual poverty, and a builds a m= odel for the post-nuclear family age.

A vacation into compelling f= antasy
There are a few books I return to again and again to= re-enter the author's world and take a vacation from my own. In The Kin = of Ata Are Waiting For You, Dorothy Bryant succeeds in creating both a co= mpelling alternate reality and a challenging vision of the possibilities = of our own reality. From a horrific car wreck to a paradise of spiritual = quest and harmony, Bryant skillfully takes the reader on the journey expl= oring the power of vision and the transformational possibilities of a tru= ly authentic spiritual life. The book stands with Starhawk's The Fifth Sa= cred Thing and Elizabeth Moon's Paladin trilogy as a refuge to which I re= turn again and again. I am never dissapointed.

An awakening experie= nce and a book I will always remember
The Kin Of Ata Are Wa= iting For You by Dorothy Bryant is a book that everyone should have the o= pportunity to read. This book is top of the list, it makes a connection w= ithin you. It is in so many ways an inspiration and a guide to follow. It= will bring you back to the way things used to be, before people tried to= create a dream without having that dream. It's a book about our culture = and how it came to be and what our true nature is. The kin of Ata, a type= of people, are waiting for you to realize that the reality is not here, = it is there, their way of life. It's a book about transformation and awak= ening. It's described on the back of the book as, "the struggle of t= he human spirit to know and become itself." The book is easy to read= and keeps your interest throughout.

A magical jou= rney with eternal significance
Imagine waking from an car a= ccident, injured badly - but healed. By who? Mysterious shamans who move = in shadows, showing you all the love and sympathy you've lacked in your h= ollow life. Imagine finally seeing their faces. Beautiful people of all r= aces and mixes between, speaking a foreign language with their lips, but = a universal language with their smiles. Imagine then being well enough to= see your surroundings - see that while your accident occured in a desert= , you are now surrounded by water! This is the genesis of ATA, and by the= time you close the book you will find your heart similarly healed - and = when you are able, you will see that your surroundings are not what they = once were. You only have to want it and believe in it. We're waiting for = you! Nagdeo.

Dorothy Bryan= t has managed to capture and nurture a very slippery fish. She has bridge= d the two worlds for me with her words. An almost impossible feat. Before= now all that is described in this story was seemingly forever just out o= f the reach of my words, swimming deep in the private realm of my sensati= ons. An unforgettable story.... that lives on in me. --This text refe= rs to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
