"In her debut novel, Priya Doty has produced a fun, hugely compelling novel about self-discovery and solving a centuries-old mystery at a yoga retreat in India. Part beach read, mostly thriller, a great-page turner." Johnny Diaz, author of Boston Boys Club and Take the Lead
"This was a gripping and galloping page-turner that had me captivated from beginning to end. I found so many brilliant nuances which revealed additional rich textures of the characters, their intertwined relationships, and their harrowing journey sublimely juxtaposed against the splendors of India. I did not want this story to end!" Debbie Chin, author Dancing in Their Light
"Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, Finding Warrior Pose is both a fast-paced novel à la Dan-Brown with its unexpected twists and turns, but weaved throughout you'll find important themes: courage and self-exploration; family and social issues; redemption. Priya Doty has created a world you wouldn't want to leave, a world filled with action, lifelike dialogues, and relatable characters. You'll stay up all night wanting more and more and more." Jeremy Taylor, author of Cornerstone of Happiness
