To err is human, to try to be your own heir? Madness. In a fit of rage, a spiritually challenged woman vows to cheat death and take her vast fortune with her when she dies. Somehow. Unfortunately, cryonics leaves her cold. When she stumbles on the fact that the Tibetan Buddhists have found the Dalai Lama's reincarnation 13 times, she becomes obsessed with leaving everything to herself. But some things cannot be bought, and prophecies can be unpredictable.

Industry Reviews

"A wonderful and enlightening novel that I couldn't put down. I wish it had come in to my life sooner." Bigfish. Verified Amazon Review.

"A clever plot with appealing characters, plenty of humour and a message of hope. I honestly stayed up all night and read it in one sitting. It was worth it." Des. Goodreads Review.

"I enjoyed the story. I smiled, laughed, and teared up while reading it. I finished reading it the other day at lunch. A few minutes later as I was driving back to work, I passed a woman putting up a sign at the entrance to a school that said "You can't take it with you" (which is a play the kids are performing that has nothing to do with the book) What a coincidence, or maybe not." Brian. Verified Amazon Review.

"Intoxicatingly delicious, inspirational read. I found this book hard to put down and go to sleep at night. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think there is a little Faith McCormack and Tenzin in everyone. Highly recommend." Panda1602. Goodreads Review.

"A very good read, I had trouble putting it down, one that I will most certainly have to read again soon. Good story, great character, this book was a delight." Verified Amazon Review.

"A great book that takes you on a very surprising journey. Loved the dynamics between the characters as well as the plot. I really cared what happened to them. An original book with a fresh style and agile pace. I loved it. If you like to read books set in other cultures, then this story of West meets East has some lovely, funny, and even exasperating moments, as well as depth and compassion. For something fresh and original, with heart and inspiration, I highly recommend this book." Beth. Verified Amazon Review.

"Really interesting and unique idea. Funny, quirky yet touches on some important ideas and beliefs. A well written book easy to read highly recommended for anyone." Ferg. Verified Amazon Review.

"I was surprised. I started reading and then I started seeing the scenes and then I started feeling! I was surprised at how Taking it With You grabbed me and took me on an emotional trip that ended in tears......and hope...........hope for another possibility and another way of being....and tears about how it is. I was surprised because I thought it was going to be corny or schmaultzy (is this how you spell that feeling when you watch a Hollywood movie and feel good inside but don't want to admit it?) and it wasn't....well maybe just a little....but I read this book and loved it! I hope others read it and get to feel some of the things I felt......you know I reckon it will make the World a better place. Now I'm feeling schm.....corny." Frankly. Verified Amazon Review.

"I loved this book, once I started reading it I was hooked. The characters, the story line and humour all weaved together so effortlessly I felt I was actually watching a movie in my head. I am going to recommend this to my family and friends." Jan Terkelsen. Verified Amazon Review.

"I do not like to read books normally, but this book intrigued me, so I bought it. I have to say that from the moment I held the book, I did not let it go until I finished it. The only other book this has happened to me with was the Lord of the Rings. I am happily recommending every one to get this little book and enjoy the ride. Also there is a nice message that Daniel is sending." L. Tsadik. Verified Amazon Review.

"This book is gripping from beginning to end, great characters and storyline, I couldn't put it down as the story unfolded so did the characters." Tareeda. Verified Amazon Review
