APRIL 7, 2010 – The first printed edition of Summer’s Path (Hay House) by DailyOM co-founder Scott Blum shot to #1 of the New Age book charts after only a few hours of being officially released on April 6, 2010. As of Wednesday morning, the book remained at the top of the New Age charts in the USA and was #3 in Canada as measured by Amazon.com book sales. In addition, the book reached #26 of all books sold in the USA and #119 in Canada.
Summer’s Path presents the remarkable story of Don Newport, an engineer who comes face-to-face with his personal destiny under extraordinary circumstances. After losing his job and his health insurance, Don learns that he has a terminal disease, with only a few months left to live. On his deathbed, he meets Robert, a brazen angel of death who promises to help him with a graceful exit. As Don prepares to say his last goodbyes to his loving wife, Robert attempts to change Don’s perspective about his mortality and proposes an exceptionally unique option.
Robert leads Don through an astounding meditation of life and death and reveals various healing and spiritual concepts, including walk-ins, embodiment, and soul destiny. On this magical journey of self-realization, Don discovers that it’s never too late to learn profound life lessons about ourselves and our loved ones.
Summer’s Path is the prequel to the best-selling book Waiting for Autumn. Summer’s Path was originally issued as a limited edition e-book that topped Amazon’s Kindle charts of all electronic books and made several best of lists. The new hardcover edition of Summer’s Path is now an international best-seller.
Summer’s Path is available from scottblum.net, Hay House, and book stores and distributors across the country.

I received a review copy of this book and absolutely loved it. The characters are very easy to relate to right off the bat. Within the first few pages of meeting Don, the main character, walking through his kitchen in the middle of the night to find bills shoved away in a drawer, I was hooked.
The narrative of this book was wonderful, the writing was colorful and emotive and the message is many fold. Billed under New Age metaphysical genre it can also be seen as a political narrative – for the personal is always political. We come to meet Don an honest man who has lost his job and insurance and soon are very intimate with this character. We feel his horror over the possibility of leaving his wife in debt as he struggles to deal with the pain both emotionally, physically, and financially of cancer.
I don’t want to give too much away because I think this is a great book everyone should read on their own. It is small enough to travel in a handbag and makes a quick read. I debated about holding onto this one all for myself, but alas I would love to share its wealth so look for it as another giveaway on our Facebook Fan Page. Become a fan and find out more!
