"Although its themes are intense, Waking Up Eve does speak of hope in the inevitable demands of truth to have its due. The author's own belief in life's purpose and the connectedness of all things is threaded throughout."

-Phyllis Ring, "Our Times", February 2001

"Darci Knowles whips up and intriguing tale of repressed memory, hidden identity, suspiscion-induced family members, and kind strangers that find themselves in the middle of trouble. It sounds like a familiar mix, but the author adds new twists by introducing new age philosophy and political intrigue�It's a combination that works well, especially with her gift for believable dialogue and ability to describe a complicated scene in a few sentences. The awakening of Eve is an interesting journey."

-Elizabeth Millard, "ForeWord Magazine" Spring 2001

"Fascinating. Knowles' writing is wonderfully accessible, with a voice like that of a truth-teller urging one to personal redemption�Mixed together are spiritual mysteries, psychological puzzles, and a love that passes beyond misunderstandings."

-Jay Bail, "The Book Reader" Spring/Summer 2001

"I can't remember a story that has stayed with me as long as this one has. I found myself thinking about the characters long after I had finished the book."

"I couldn't put it down...and didn't want it to end."

"Waking Up Eve reads like a cross between a fast-paced John Grisham and a lyrical Alice Hoffman novel...I loved it."

"It's hard to believe this is a first-time novel."

"This is a true page-turner. I'd love to see it made into a movie."

"Waking Up Eve evoked a lot of emotion for me, I really connected with the characters and could definitely see a sequel to this tale...very rich, very deep."
