Anyone who likes books that prompt self-reflection or enjoys soulful, uplifting reads (think Richard Bach or conversations with the divine) will likely be moved by Sati’s unusual tale.

Who May Not Like This Book:

On the flip side, if you prefer fast-paced action, tight plotting, or stories with more intense conflict, "Sati" might not hit the mark.

If you’re not into stories that explore spiritual questions or rely on minimal plot fireworks, this one may not be for you.

A quietly powerful and comforting read - easy to pick up, hard to forget. Ideal for anyone seeking inspiration or a fresh perspective on life's bigger questions.

From The Publisher:

I once knew this girl who thought she was God. She didn't give sight to the blind or raise the dead. She didn't even teach anything, not really, and she never told me anything I probably didn't already know.

On the other hand, she didn't expect to be worshipped, nor did she ask for money. Given her high opinion of herself, some might call that a miracle.

I don't know, maybe she was God. Her name was Sati and she had blonde hair and blue eyes.

For all who meet her, Sati will change everything. Sati may change everything for you.
