"This CD has a different feeling than Shores of Avalon but continues Malia's beautiful message of communion with the Earth and the Divine. Every song is my new favorite song and her voice is pure magic. Love it!! Perfect for inspiring or setting the mood for a womyns circle or meditation group."

"How can you top brilliance? This is how. What a wonderful career Tina Malia has in front of her. Shores of Avalon was an absolutely beautiful work of magic that you would think would never be topped....well guess what? She did it. What a fan I am and always will be. I am so impressed with you Tina Malia. Can't wait to see you in person.

"This album has to be the single most moving and emotional recording by any artist in years. I first happened upon Tina with "Shores of Avalon" and with the follow-up album, I was a little nervous to say the least. I didn't think she could top that CD or its title track, but she has.
If for no other song on the album (all of which are stellar), buy this one for the song "ALL ROADS." This is an utterly perfect piece of songwriting. It, like most of Tina's music, is acoustic guitar based. There are a few other instruments softly intermingled with the guitar on this song, but the music fades into the background and the main instrument that can be heard is Tina's etherial, chill-inducing vocal. At about 3 1/2 minutes into the song, just when you think it can't possibly get any better, equally silver-piped Sasha Butterfly joins Tina on the final chorus with a weaving, intertwined, harmonic alternate lyric and vocal that when it is joined with Tina's lyric and vocal is enough to make you stop in your tracks and burst into tears.
Seriously people, BUY THIS CD. NOW. No...NOW."

"Just discovered Tina Malia on Backroads Music . com, which is also connected to Will Ackerman and my former beloved Half Moon Bay CA. Tina is from Northern California and plays quite a few festivals there, and has a number of great videos on YouTube. I can't tell you enough how wonderful this CD is, and I am so grateful for the mp3 downloads for instant listening pleasure. I will probably leave this one playing all night long! Sweet Dreams, Peaceful Heart, I am sure. I need that! I wish I could "awaken from the dream within a dream" she describes in her songs. "The Silent Awakening" is silent no more, praise be to God for us all...
Two favorites: "Walking Home" and "The Silent Awakening." I also love "Heal This Land" which can also be seen on YouTube as a "music promo." She sings the way I dance; like birds on wing, whirling and wheeling in the wind to soar to heavens and float back down again, coming in for a landing just to take off again. Her voice lifts us up to "Must Be Heaven..." now. And How.
