levels. It starts off by revealing the problem faced by each individual,
and then it shows their capacity to transform their life. When you read
Nexus, the wisdom resonates deeply within you, not always consciously but
at a soulful level. Anyone interested in an insightful, original story
needs to buy a copy of this book." -- Divna Sardelic, Teacher, Mother & Spiritual Seeker

About the Author
The authors, Deborah Morrison and Arvind Singh, draw upon their
experiences in their practice as therapists and as relaxation educators.
Their interest in spirituality, healing and personal transformation and
empowerment is reflected in their co-authored book. It is rare to find a
collaborative novel with a coherent and succinct voice, yet the authors of
Nexus have succeeded on both counts.

"Nexus" is an insightful, spiritual, intimate novel about Logan Andrews' struggle to overcome personal pain through the loss of his mother and his love, Sarah McMaster. It's largely set at a spiritual retreat that draws an odd assortment of characters near Elora, Ontario.
The experience of each person at the retreat forces them to reexamine their life and realize that they need to follow their dream. The book experientially teaches many important lessons, especially finding our centre, and the importance of inner peace and compassion. It's an ambitious book and I am fascinated by how two different authors can combine their voices into a unified and introspective narrative.
I also recommend the novels "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and "The Tenderness of Wolves" by Stef Penney. All these debut novels allow us to explore dimensions of the human spirit from a unique perspective. It's wonderful to read talented new authors each with a clear voice of their own.

What new information can I present on this book that is fresh and from my own unique perspective?
Well I was first struck by the apparent, surface-level simplicity of NEXUS. The language is accessible, commonplace, and even at times basic and somewhat predictable. Then again the book seems to be intended as a spiritual story to inspire and uplift through the struggles of people dealing with their pain. A number of passages really stand out for their beauty and inspiration.
The book drops literary hubris in favour of the humility of just telling a soul-searching story of people finding their way in life. The book is spiritually focused but it goes through the ups and downs of life, without fear of avoiding negative aspects of life such as depression, suicidal thoughts, fear of death and feeling loneliness. As in life, these trials are important part of the character development of each person in the book and so they form an integral part of the organic process of personal transformation.
The simplicity of this book hides a deeper vision of the self, relationships and the progression of life from personal suffering to an embrace of all-suffering through compassion. Without revealing too much of the plot, I found the pearls of wisdom sprinkled throughout this book to be the most compelling aspect.
I found some parts of the book a bit frustrating in the sense that the authors could have allowed for more back and forth dialogue between the teachers and the students. Then again the extras may have only stretched out the story without really adding anything.
After reading NEXUS, I wondered about the root of all-suffering. How can suffering be eradicated? Is spiritual life always about growth even through difficulties?... Read more ›

I would give this book 10 out of 10 because it was just beautiful. I loved it from the beginning to the end.
At times the story-line was quite unbelievable but then again this is fiction. As a spiritual reader, I appreciated the novel's fresh and appealing insights on love, relationships, despair and overcoming difficulties.
The story is a bit fairytale-ish in parts but I applaud Morrison/Singh for writing an original book. It's an interesting effort.
In essence the novel's message is quite simple: To truly love, your heart has to be free. That lesson is given within the journey - the authors never come out and say it.
Nexus is a really good book that will inspire many people. I give it my full points!!!

Overall this is a good book more for the message of personal transformation and really memorable passages and phrases that stand out and there are many of them in this book. I actually liked the subplot of Steven and I think more could have been done with him in the story. Some of the ideas didn't make sense when I first read them but after a second read I'm glad that I bought this novel. I'm sure each person will find something in it they like so long as you have an open-mind. I'd recommend it to anyone but word of caution: Read this book with a curious mind not a critical attitude because that'll ruin it for you.

I love this book for offering deep insights along with a fast-paced, engaging storyline. Even with some minor typos which I trust will be corrected in subsequent editions, this is a superb debut novel.
I bought it with Stef Penney's "The Tenderness of Wolves," which is a remarkable story of courage in the Canadian wilderness. Both book are an excellent read and I highly recommend them. I also suggest that you pre-order "Deathly Hallows" final book of Harry Potter series if you're so inclined.

'NEXUS' by Deborah Morrison and Arvind Singh is a remarkable and unique New Age novel that highlights a variety of life challenges as well as inspirations that we all can relate to. The wisdom discoverred in this book is like a hidden key for healing that I know I can surely use in my own life. I've already experienced some great changes in my life that I attribute totally to reading 'NEXUS.' Also I am living a deeper and more profound peace since I discoverred that 'NEXUS' is infused with a deeper wisdom, a wisdom that has proven to be life alterring. Have you heard of 'THE SECRET'??? Well, I believe that 'NEXUS' is really 'THE SECRET' since there are many people that don't know about it yet. I suggest that if you want to have 'THE SECRET' revealed to you, then read 'NEXUS'...one of the best kept secrets that some of us are grateful we've discoverred.
How can one book cover such depth and breadth all within a few hundred pages?
A Must Read!!!
More New Age books that you simply must read are:
The Secret, Rhonda Byrne
The Law of Attraction, Michael Losier
