About the Book

Heart Awakening is the story of how a young man's pursuit of love becomes a journey into spiritual awakening. Set during the cultural and spiritual confusion of the early 1970s, it captures the experience of suburban young people searching for deeper meaning in their lives.

Carl Lehrer has grown cynical after a failed relationship and nearly being drafted. He falls for Sharon Belmont, whose openness to new spiritualities launches him on a personal journey involving meditation, spiritual teachers, and a psychic premonition about their future. Carl's quest for love and truth eventually leads to a breakthrough experience beyond anything he could have imagined.
