Reviews "The genre of visionary fiction is still
so fresh as to allow authors to chart a path for others to follow. The
grandfather of vsionary fiction, The Celestine Prophecy, is one such
work; Savitri L. Bess's Offer Me a Flower may be another. The heroine,
Luce, is an Arizona-based student who becomes a counselor; in attempting to
find herself, she helps others find themselves. Chased by a stalker in her
dreams and in reality, Luce roams the mountains and arroyos surrounding Tucson
in search of the Mother and personal healing. Excitement reigns high as she
encounters visions, shamans, wild animals, and dangerous men in jungles,
deserts, and her own living room. At various intervals through the quest, the
Mother unexpectedly manifests to teach Luce about life, love, and the eternal.
The romantic subplot is a blueprint for how and how not to conduct oneself in
relationship. Avoiding the gooey pit of New Age truism, this loving novel
serves not only as a moral guiding light for young adults, it also serves up
healthy helpings of inspiration and entertainment."

"A magical, mystical, thriller that initiates the reader
into the beauty of the dark and the light. Grounded in real-life drama, each
page carries wisdom and guidance for the seeker. I couldn't put it down."
--Winter Robinson, author of Intuitions: Seeing with the
Heart
"A heartfelt, magical story that you can get lost in and
never want to come out! I offer Savitri Bess a flower for weaving a tale that
not only takes us on quite a journey but also has such profound truths."
--Patrice Karst, author of God Made Easy
