To their friends in San Diego, Sophie and Neil Beaumont are a successful, happy couple. One rainy night in 1987, that illusion is shattered. As Sophie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life, she doubts that the aching hole in her heart will ever heal. But everything changes when her best friend’s child, Jonathan, is born. Feeling a sense of hope, she has an intuition that he will be a beloved soul she knew in a past life. Their strong connection inspires her to embark on a journey of personal transformation that changes the course of her life.
Prior to his birth, Jonathan and his team of spirit guides create his intricate soul plan. His life purpose is to share wisdom from the spirit world with others, to help them live their lives with less suffering. However, as the result of an unexpected event, he disconnects from the spirit world, and without access to that unique knowledge he was born with, he finds himself at the mercy of his own heartbreaking struggles. His spirit team is determined to help him meet his mission—after all, people like Sophie are depending on him. But can they find a way to help him awaken?

The Exigent Earth
THE EXIGENT EARTH stands among the more important psychodramas of late – the story is beautifully crafted, the characters and situations are mesmerizing, and kick-in-the-gut message is one the reader will not forget. -Grady Harp Top 50 Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer
A fascinating and thought provoking passionately written science-fiction story.
This outstanding book sends out a powerful and very strong message to its readers. Woven into a fascinating science-fiction plot is the fact that we are stewards of the world, its fate, and ultimately our own is in the hands of everyone. Mother earth is a strong spirit with incredible ways of protecting herself. Everyone is accountable, and can make a difference. As it says in the book “People must understand that it isn’t up to someone else to save them. Their power is within and always has been.”
This is an exciting story, passionately written. With space travel, biological weapons and incredibly thought-provoking content it really does makes compulsive reading – Highly recommended!" Susan Keefe Midwest Book Review
The Line Between
The Line Between is another enchanting read by Beverly Knauer!! I so enjoyed getting to know the characters and I actually felt like I was on the journey with them. It is a story filled with hope and magic. I love love love the way this author makes me feel when reading her books. I highly recommend The Line Between for your summer read! -Georgia Irby
The Line Between is a deeply moving and inspirational book on the universal themes of loss, grief and suffering and the fortitude of the human spirit. From time to time life breaks everyone and losses leave gaping holes in the tapestry of our existence. And to move through life’s vicissitudes and its dualities often requires belief that everything happens and that there are no coincidences. Though the life story of her characters, the author shows us that the experiences we label as traumatic, heart-shattering and wrenching are part of the terms found in our soul contracts, terms we accepted and selected before we incarnated on earth. Pain often closes and constricts us, but if we remain open and observant, and especially if we still our minds, we can access messages and see the signs sent to us by our spirit guides. This book is a manifest of faith, hope and love; it affirms our natural inclination to find meaning in our life and to make sense of the events that often leave us in a state of suffering, shell-shocked disbelief and long-lasting bereavement. This novel is like a torch lighting the way out of darkness of despair toward a reaffirmation of life and its joys.- Jana Begovic, Author of Poisonous Whispers
The Soul's Hope
Beautifully written, wonderful insights in to character traits, settings and backgrounds that often pass you by without being noticed. It's this authors eye that brings it to life, which otherwise would go unnoticed. Having personally experienced tragedy, blame and the self destructive guilt that can follow such events, I hope the author does not mind me sharing one particular moment that really rocked me to my boots, with it's insight.
“Why would anyone really want closure?” Margo asked. “Why would anyone want to close the door on thoughts about a departed loved one? Grief will soften over the years after a loss, but the door to memories should always be open. I think we yearn to find a place of peace more than closure.- Shaun Green
I found The Soul's Hope enchanting, compelling and thought provoking to read! The story's characters are beautifully intertwined with each other to provide the reader with a story of hope about our connections to each other on this plane of existence. I came away with dozens of questions about what our purpose might be and how best to live out that purpose. Her first book, "The Line Between" , Beverly presents the pieces of a great puzzle that "The Soul's Hope"brings to fruition and completion. This is a book that is worth reading many times.......
