Jewel in the Lotus/The Tantric Path to Higher Consciousness by Sunyata Saraswati
Set in the bucolic, yet brutal South of his youth, My Mother s House is a memoir by novelist David Armand. It recounts the young author s early memories of being born to a schizophrenic mother, then given up for adoption, only to be raised in a home with an alcoholic and abusive step-father. In this sharply-remembered portrait of the people and places that shaped him, Armand paints his seemingly negative experiences with a sympathetic and understanding brush. As the reader follows Armand through his childhood and later into adult life when he is reunited with his mother after she makes a failed suicide attempt a surprisingly new world of hope and possibility is rendered, despite the overwhelming challenges of this reunion. Armand's] writing is reminiscent of Hemingway: straightforward descriptions of manly action punctuated by laconic dialogue.--New York Journal of Books
Armand writes in a comfortingly familiar literary voice that blends Ernest Hemingway s laconic but rhythmically complicated explorations of the mysteries of masculinity with William Faulkner s more fabulist, Southern Gothic twang. It s a heady, seductively intoxicating combination.--Richmond Times-Dispatch
