“As Celestine Prophesy spoke to the zeitgeist of the 90's, Romancing the Beloved connects us to the powerful current that many of us feel in the 2010's.This period, which indigenous cultures believed would be a time when patriarchy, as symbolized by the eagle, would be transformed into a world where the eagle would be met in flight by the condor, the symbol of the divine feminine-- a new time when power over would be replaced by real partnership in which both partners can soar. So Joan's book, a simple love story between two middle aged seekers, is really a blueprint for how this divine transformation can actually take place.” David Case, President, Case Enterprises
“Romancing The Beloved is filled with drama, love, sexual tension and a set of life challenges that grab you from the moment you start reading and carry you through to the last page.

This book would be a great movie! .” Joe Sugarman, Chairman and founder BluBlocker Sunglass Corporation and former publisher The Maui Weekly
