Waking Up In The Great Recession Mormon Desert

Following a series of recession-related mishaps, an adventurous spiritual counseling and healing team moves from the beautiful New Age, ultra-progressive town of Santa Cruz, CA to the eastern Arizona desert. The timing is immediately after the election of Barack Obama and the passage of Proposition 8 and they inadvertently find themselves in an ultra-conservative Republican Mormon community. The result is at turns poignant and funny and leads to a spiritual wake-up call that shows the importance of connecting the political and the personal in our daily lives. This book might be described as Michael Moore meets Deepak Chopra if the story was told by a female blogger like Julie Powell (Julie, Julia). The book touches on issues millions of Americans have been going through-losing a job, a business, a home. But it is also about choosing to live a creative, purpose-driven life, being guided by faith, and finding one's voice in a world that calls out for an end to polarity, injustice and hate.
