Readers have strong personal reactions to "Philanth" because it probes central values so deeply; in the process it shows how well-chosen values can transform life while standing independent of religious doctrine. "Philanth" is of particular interest to younger adults who are struggling to settle into the basic premises of their lives. Even though our new little publishing company could not afford to promote this first book, and though it was therefore ignored by reviewers, the appeal of its theme helped "Philanth" reach readers in 85 countries and 49 states in its first two years.
"Philanth" lays the foundations for "The Bjorklund Legacy", an ambitious new series of political romances which launches itself into the moral vacuum of contemporary culture with an inspiriting approach solidly grounded in social-scientific perspective. Astar Daniels, herself a successful artist, has written regarding the first three "Bjorklund" novels published: These are hopeful and loving books, reflecting caring idealism as well as enormous research. The author, a sociologist with backgrounds in literature and politics, has nuggets of insight for every reader. Dr. Halliwell's brilliance is apparent in her treatment of global problems as well as in lyric and picturesque passages. Yet despite all of the intellectual feasting offered, the central characters are vital, engaging, and rich in the timeless appeal of caring passionately about things greater than themselves. They make this series a treasure not to be missed.
