Changed my life. - By: , 12 Jul 1999 
I first read Long Quiet Highway 3 years ago. It changed my life forever. Natalie offered me my first introduction to zen, which was profound enough, but it was the way in which she shared her growth that inspired me to reach beyond the world I knew then. I am eternallly grateful for this book.
Inspirational in the truest sense - By: , 10 Feb 1999 It would be hard to say enough good things about this book. It is absolutely frank, open, & honest. For anyone out there who has read about Zen & thinks that it seems cold, detatched, or without love, please read this book as evidence that Zen is a path to love & to truth as pure as any. Top ten alll time for me, & that's placing it on my list conservatively. Thanks Nat, for the first time in my life after reading a book, I feel as if I truly have gained a friend. This book has inspired me to live more honestly, & for that I cannot be grateful enough.
