Reviews

'Entwined nicely with Jakes work concerning personal reflection and self-knowledge, the concept quickly takes over the storys momentum. Rubarts (The Five Times I Met Myself) style is candid and unobtrusive, making it easy to visualize the beauty and peace of the lake house. Key themes of forgiveness, rebirth, and emotional healing emerge organically through Jakes struggles. Rubart will leave readers inspired to ponder what the label is on their bottle.' * Publishers Weekly *
4 1/2 stars. 'Rubart has done it again with another uniquely written, stellar novel. The author comes up with the most original, thought-provoking concepts that readers can take lessons from to apply to their own lives. On the surface, the story is engaging. Jake is a fascinating character with many layers and hidden pain. Yet delve deeper and there is a gold mine full of spiritual and personal treasures to uncover. Who wouldn't want to find a mysterious corridor that grants your deepest desires' * RT Book Reviews *
