My Take on this Journey:Owlet was a beautifully written love story, filled with mystery and intrigue.  This was the story of Iris, (the Owlet), and her long lost soulmate, Falcon.  I loved the prose, and the spiritual message in this novel.  This was a mystical ride through, "never never land," as Iris, the main character, referred to the Island her father owned.For many years, Iris had been in the dark about her mother's death, and her past.  She could not remember anything, except in her dreams.  When she'd awaken, she wouldn't know what was real, and what was a figment of her imagination.  The dreams continued to plague, and confuse her, along with the voices in her head.  This left her, at times, feeling like she was on the verge of insanity.  It also left her with countless questions, and no answers.  Iris lived a sheltered, and secluded life, hidden from the outside world, with her father and her Aunt Diana for eight years.  They made decisions that effected Iris's life, which they believed, were in her best interest.  Yet, Iris didn't know about these decisions, or why her father, and Aunt Diana avoided answering her questions.  While reading this novel, it leads the reader to the Island that was always in Iris's dreams. She didn't know if it truly existed, until the day she revealed her dreams to her father.  He, at that point, had Diana take Iris to the Island, where she would finally unlock the key to her past.This was a spiritual journey with many life lessons.  Lessons of faith, hope, denial, treachery, loneliness,  loyalty, longing, and unconditional love.  The characters in this book were memorable.  The sadness that envelopes Falcon, as Iris begins to regain her memory, had me forlorn, and bewildered at the same time.This wonderful spiritual journey earned 5 life-long, soul-searching stars!!!
