“Prosor breathes life into the story through Peter Martinez, laidback surfer, archaeology student and failed Wooden Indian. His vivid surfing descriptions and wise-cracking musings on the failings of modern culture draw us into his world and give an honest, ethical voice that is instantly likeable. The picture Prosor paints of Native American life in coastal California is detailed and intriguing and the sudden addition of a ‘freaked out’ surfer alongside Spanish missionaries and military is dramatic and at times hilarious. Prosor crafts these disparate elements into a cohesive, fast-paced story, but it is his ability to bring relationships to life, the way he finds the heart of the story that ultimately sets ‘Dream Walker’ apart. I thoroughly recommend it.”

“Dream Walker pulled me into the cultural values of the past and the present on a journey imbued with traditions of spirituality, honesty, love, bravery, humility and wisdom amongst life and culture. I felt like I was actually there, experiencing everything. I found myself connected with nature, the ocean and fundamental lifestyle of their heritage and relationships. It ultimately made me think about the true importance of what really matters in our lives and that we sometimes get distracted by extrinsic motivation. Dream Walker is a must read!”

“I love this book! Dream Walker is a beautifully descriptive, thoroughly enjoyable delight to read. Larry Prosor is a wonderful storyteller, and I know other readers would love to escape into the world of the Dream Walk.”

“Dream Walker vibrates with ancient and modern wisdom as the struggles of the past merge with the struggles of the present day conflict between environmentalists and a multinational oil company. As if ripped from today’s headlines, Dream Walker takes a stand in favor of those who recognize both the ancient and the modern world’s desire to live in harmony with nature and to leave the Earth in better shape than we found it. In presenting this struggle in compelling and dramatic fashion, Prosor succeeds in making Dream Walker a thoroughly enjoyable read.”

“From the first page a novel must snap me to attention and propel me into the story or the book takes up residency in our guest room, lulling others to sleep. Fortunately, Dream Walker drew me in towards a wave of intrigue and adventure, time traveling along the California coastline. Prosor possesses a knack for weaving a detailed story using Native American history and spirituality, thrusting the reader centuries back in time. It’s obvious he was diligent in his quest for historical knowledge as it enabled him to weave a detailed description of both landscape and Native American cultural society. It definitely swept me back in time, and forward into modern day time, with no hinderance to my insomnia while providing me a very entertaining and enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book to anyone.”

“Being a 4th generation Californian of European decent, Dream Walker is the story that I always wanted to hear but was never told in school. Rich in Native American roots and history, this tale weaves together spirituality, sacred love and respect for the ocean. Brilliant and powerful storytelling.”
