From the Back Cover:
"Jyoti’s poems carefully carry us through her life with the strength of lessons well learned. We see a
woman who has been there and come out with what she went in to find. I see these poems as
women all around me on the bus, in the library, at lunch. It’s nice to have another story where we all
make it out on our own terms." Brittany Baldwin, author of Broken Knuckles Against Knives Cutting
The Food To Feed Me Through This.
BING, BANG, ZAP¦ my friend, Jyoti, tells her story in prose, poetry and prayers in a way that will wake
you up, make you realize her story is yours, written in bare naked language. Read it and see for
yourself. You’ll enjoy the phrasings that say so much in so few words. Some of the lines that will
stay with me: To deepen into life, forged in fire. I’d best be about my own fulfillment. I burst into tears
at the truth of what was seen. I am gathering, preparing to leap into the unknown Leap with her,
you won’t need a parachute. In fact, you won’t want one.
I’m honored that Jyoti wanted me to read her book, and make these few comments. I do it in the
hope that you’ll join her in this exciting journey to Grace’s Edge. Robert J. Morgan, Author,
GOODBYE,GERALDINE, Facilitator of Memoir Writing Workshops
By Grace’s Edge is a rich collection of writings delving into that precious time in between phases of
our life. It is a universal story of leaving who we have been and what roles we have taken on before
we move into who we are becoming ~ a process of reflection, requiring insight into the Self and the
courage to see there what is. Consistently the essence of who we are. Knowing how we play that out
in the world is yet to be seen and experienced.
In By Grace’s Edge, Jyoti expresses her time of deep reflection, looking back to what she has
learned, how she has given and how she has received, what she has embraced and what she has
rejected. Now with the fullness of all that she has drunk of Life she enters into the empty void of
what is yet to come. Her love of the Ancient Ones, her connection to Nature, and her appreciation
for her children are her anchors on this rocky sea of passage.

If we are at all perceptive we learn as we grow older. You have not only learned, but you have
recorded the wisdom you've gained in a beautiful manner with clear, concise language. Your book
is a winner. RM, CO
What a wonderful book! I couldn’t put it down. The poems speak so deeply and profoundly to my life
experiences. ST, MI
Hello Jyoti... I read your book of poetry...It was really considerate of you to share it with me. Two in
particular that I enjoyed was The Changing of the Guard "The Piscean age had crosses and martyrs
and compassion of tears and blood. It gave us intermediaries who tugged the ear of God . . .
intrigued me....and Making Bread, I can see the tears flowing as the butter melted. I like the idea that
making bread can save a person's life.
Thank you, Kelly Morgan, L.A., CA
Your book was so amazing to me. You are truly a rare
Survivor. It was brilliantly written, and I am so glad I know you
better after reading that book. You've had quite a world, Jyoti, and
you have come out so very well. You should be very proud of yourself.
Book is beautiful! What a treasure to gift the world. AY, CO
I think you've put together a manual for seeing with the soul's eyes, for breathing in life's lush
availabilities in all of the senses and possibilities and in the energy of dreams, stages, memories,
completions and beginnings, how all of this and so much more creates the richness of the circle and
the spiral -- in order to let you know that you've done a grand thing of lasting import, I had to
confess -- letting you know your gift is deeply appreciated is, as I see it, of much more importance.
Would that my touch with words was as sensitive, experienced, attuned, deeply felt and compliant to
the flow of creation as yours, you would have a sense of how much you have accomplished through
your writings in this book. And the cover is beautiful, the title is just perfect. PR, CA
