Reviews
“Entertaining and psychologically perceptive, this collection produces magic, while bringing us a larger vision of daily life.”
- Susan Griffin, author of Woman and Nature
“Like the waters at the well, this book mirrors deep truths you will instantly recognize in yourself.”
- Ariel Spilsbury, author of The Mayan Oracle, The 13 Moon Oracle, The Alchemy of Ecstasy and Gaia's New Dreamcoat: A Faerie Guide to Gaia's Greening.
"In The Well of Truth, the heroine uses loss as a spiritual well to draw from, which empowers herself and others, and most of all gives her agency to connect to Mother Earth in a woman’s way.”
- Michele Ritterman, Ph.D. author of The Tao of a Woman
"Elizabeth Gould has a knack for making the divine tactile. Her characters are textured, complicated, and utterly believable but they are also portals to the uncanny and miraculous experience of the sacred. A nourishing read."
- Sophie Strand, author of The Madonna Secret and The Flowering Wand
"Compelling and engaging book! Once I started reading Grace's story, I couldn't put the book down until I finished it! Her writing is so engaging, visual and colorful. She pulls you into the moments of the character's lives. Grace became so real that I didn't want her story to end. I wanted to know her as a much older woman facing the end of her life. The way she wove the spiritual and Goddesses into her story was wonderful. Her writing style is so lyrical and poetic too. I hope she writes another book. I want to read more of her stories."

"Short and sweet~ fun read! This delightful book grabbed me immediately and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of writing and never wanted it to end. The topics of student, women, mother, wife, and daughter grabbed me and held me in each chapter. A lifetime of looking at the divine moments we learn to cherish and share with others. Thank you for a breath of fresh air!"

"Heartfelt story of real life. If you're looking to read a few stories filled with joy, creativity and humility from the perspective of the divine feminine, this is the book for you. This woman has LIVED, LOVED and SHINES with the joy of experiencing LIFE! Well done!"

"Down to earth enlightenment. In "The Well of Truth," the heroine/narrator easily crosses the membrane separating what's accepted as reality from other realms. Her quest begins anchored in nature, and she must come to terms with things always changing and the eternal motion of the universe. The reader could wonder if, in another life, the author rode with Antoine de Saint-Exupery in his airplane flights that became the "Wind, Sand, and Stars" and "The Little Prince" books. Or maybe there's just something in the wind that sets writers exploring similar lines. Perhaps the charming series of stories in "The Well of Truth" will encourage others to experience for themselves just how permeable that membrane between realities can be."
- Alex Campbell, author of "Endangered: The Ballad of Bitterroot Bob"
"Beautiful! I read the entire book in one sitting! Grace's story drew me in with its beautiful imagery, spirituality, and pure magic. This is a reminder to become attuned to unexpected messages life can offer at any stage of a woman’s life. I love Grace's raw honesty about her relationships with her daughters and laughed out loud. Grace inspires me to trust my intuition and bravely embrace the unknown. The richness of the story wrapped around me like a warm blanket and I will read it again."

"I didn't want it to end. I loved this book. The book illuminates the spiritual experience of life through the stories of Grace's progression from young adult to wife to mom to person to woman. Grace, like us all, is an imperfect mom, an imperfect woman, doing the most perfect job of living. She navigates the challenges of life with occasional visits from the spirits who know the greater importance of love, life, and belonging. I related so much to Grace's plan of how her life as a mom and partner would beautifully unfold only to be hit with the problems and realities of daily life. Reading this book felt like sitting with a best friend."
