Review Quotes:
"An eloquent, passionate, often mystical exploration of how we mere mortals might better understand ourselves and others in a late-20th century society in which so much emphasis is placed on interpersonal dynamics and so little on introspection, care, grace, gratitude and honor." - Detroit News
"I devoured Soul Mates like some comfort food for the spirit . . . Moore moves love off the fast track and into the realm of mystery and imagination where it belongs." - New Woman
"In richly textured and shaded prose, he evokes mythology, poetry and sacred and philosophical traditions to speak not to our agendas but to our souls." - San Francisco Chronicle
