A breath of fresh air - soulmates do exist!!!

Miriam Sokol's book of real life stories was a joy to read. I didn't want to put it down. In a world where sometimes there is so much sadness in relationships, it was so refreshing to realize that meeting our soulmates is possible if we allow ourselves to realize that a higher power is guiding us.

Wonderfully written, engaging stories with depth

The stories in How we met are wonderfully written, engaging and with a surprising amount of depth. I also liked the insights that begin each chapter, which served as a guide for the stories. It's a fun and interesting read for just about everyone. I even had my teenage daughter read it!

INSPIRING OF HOPE FOR ALL SINGLES

I was touched by Miriam Sokol's book and after several tissues I realized I was filled with hope. As an single woman, who is old enough to have alot of her own stories, I became more convinced of the power of spiritual forces in guiding a match. Just when you think you may never meet your soulmate, Ms. Sokol's book illuminates the possibilities that he may materialize any day now. Ms. Sokol understands that the greatest matchmaker of all times, is "The One whose hand is in every match." I highly recommend this lovely book.

a banquet that fed my heart and soul

Remember those old films where there is a tent in the desert, looks small from the outside, but its a magnificent palace on the inside? My state of mind changed as I read this book. I wasn't just reading. I was filling my heart and soul with possibility, with reality, with love. The feeling of hope, trust, excitement has lasted for days. True love is alive and well.

An inspiration to us all that soul mates do exist!

In this beautiful gem of a book, Miriam Sokol gives us a treasury of unique and wonderful real life stories of how couples met. The fact that couples come together under all kinds of amazing circumstances, truly shows us the miracles at work when soul mates meet. Ms Sokol writes with freshness and clarity and gives single people the hope that miracles are constantly at work in the search for one's soul mate. I highly recommend this book to anyone who still believes that we are not always in control of our own destinies - and that our soul mate is out there - somewhere - waiting.
