A Flower for God

A Memoir

By: Prema Jasmine Camp

Narrated by: Megan Sciera

Prema Camp guides us through her spiritual quest from her musings as a child atop a hayloft at her grandparents’ farm in Maine to her decision to live in India. With graceful prose and pristine insight, she reveals the mistakes that she made and the prices she paid. Finding a series of spiritual guides, she leans into experiences whose only invitations are the words only she hears. To her credit and courage, she acknowledges her perceptions as the way the divine speaks to her.

Intertwining poetry and song lyrics with the narrative of her journey, Camp tells us a story that winds, rises, and falls but always places her on the road to greater insight. She imbues memories of decades-old events with the sensual detail that convince us of their spiritual significance. Striving from early childhood to find an inner peace that she couldn’t name or understand, Camp became receptive to the eternal. With generous vulnerability, she allows us into her darkest experiences and uses them to reveal a path available to us all.

Her special talent is a willingness to listen to an inner voice even when it tells her to do what her intellect doesn’t comprehend as useful, right, or even safe. Her faith shines through this memoir of worldly bruises and heavenly gifts, both of which she embraces with gratitude and grace.
