Editorial Reviews

Six Weeks to Yehidah is a spiritual delight, a page-turner fantasy that takes its readers on a journey not to be missed. Melissa Studdard makes a brilliant debut in this young adult novel with memorable characters, powerful scenes, and intimacy rather than spectacle. The story is intelligent and compelling, a must-read for spiritual literature fans of all ages – refreshingly original, haunting, and heartfelt.

Set in the hyperactive imagination of an adolescent girl, Six Weeks to Yehidah is a delightfully palatable study of such timeless issues as Universal Authority. Flanked by her two favorite sheep, Mabel and Mimi, young Annalise roams the fantastical realm of the clouds, encountering self-proclaimed deities. The lush, magical imagery is worthy of Alice in Wonderland and Gulliver's Travels.

Six Weeks to Yehidah is the story of Annalise, a young girl who enters a wondrous dreamscape. With the company of two very special friends, she takes a journey and meets a variety of intriguing and highly entertaining characters. Ultimately, it is up to Annalise to solve the greatest riddle of all: why she’s here, and what it all means. Her each step toward this answer is both delightful and thought-provoking. Six Weeks to Yehidah is a must read for anyone who knows there is more to life

Jen Knox

Combining the clever word play of Lewis Carroll, the delightfulness of the Oz books, and the philosophical underpinnings of both C.S. Lewis and the Buddhist Bodhisattva, Six Weeks to Yehidah is a tour-de-force of excellent writing and startling imagination, and a gentle exploration of the interconnectedness of all things.
***** Five stars.

Melissa Studdard weaves a dreamscape for her main character Annalise – a true Hero’s Journey in the Joseph Campbell sense. The story is delicate and poignant – a far cry from the usual fare for young adults. The theme is universal, the writing is skillful, poetic and memorable.
