Lorna Crawford has a great boyfriend, longtime friends, and a well-paying job as special- events coordinator at a premium ice-cream manufacturer. But, out of sorts and filled with self-doubt, the 33 year old soon realizes that what she really wants is to stay on the spiritual path she keeps diving off of. Lorna jump-starts her efforts at a silent yoga retreat. But after returning from the mountain, she quickly loses her connection in the face of scheming coworkers, judgmental girlfriends, and, especially, her overly critical mother. Lorna also wrestles over her future with her boyfriend, a hot guy who takes her to the hottest places, but who can’t discern a meditation cushion from a toad stool. Reading spiritual books and visiting a channeler and energy healer move Lorna forward, but her confusion remains. Lorna’s seeking is put to the ultimate test when personal tragedy strikes. Will she come to truly understand that living spiritually has little to do with how you pretzel yourself on the yoga mat (although she gets plenty good at that), and everything to do with embracing the twists in everyday life?

Downward Dog, Upward Fog is a charming work of fiction that illustrates the inspirational journey of a woman trying to balance everyday life, with her desperate quest for a more spiritual self. Author Meryl Davids Landau does an amazing job of encompassing the ups and downs of embarking on a spiritual path and the challenges that arise while attempting to be one with a “higher self.” Downward Dog, Upward Fog has a perfect combination of uplifting inspiration with a down- to- earth spin on personal spirituality that any reader is sure to enjoy.

Throughout the book, I found myself relating to the main character in her struggle to maintain her spiritual self in all situations. I think readers will also find they can relate to the main character in more ways than one, and see that spirituality is not a destination to be reached, but an endless journey.
