"I found Awakening by Mary Rodwell to be a fascinating book. It is insightful, factual, detailed, and looks at the many different aspects of the alien abduction and Contact phenomenon. Those interested in this subject will undoubtedly hail this book as being a classic. It will take pride of place in countless libraries around the world and will be referred to by scholars of the subject for a long time to come. It will also comfort many of those who have experienced the abduction phenomenon on a first hand basis."

Philip Mantle Former Director of Investigations for BUFORA (British UFO Research Association) CoAuthor Without Consent

"This isn't just another research book, it is much, much, more as it is written by a lady who has h ands on contact with the people she writes about Mary is a trained counsellor who has made it her life's work to help those who are trying to cope with the many aspects of alien or extraterrestrial Contact.

Her professionalism shines through the pages, combined with her compassion and true concern for the people she is trying to help. Her approach to each case is totally nonsensationalist, looking at all possibilities and explanations, logical, rational and often irrational. Mary softly challenges the reader's perceptions and many will no doubt find themselves questioning their own views on the realities of this bizarre subject. "Someone once said, with regards to the UFO/Abduction phenomenon, the absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence and how true that statement is! At last, we have a well written, well researched book which will be of tremendous help to so many, both now and in the future."

Ann Andrews Author of Abducted

Readers' response to Awakening:

"Awakening is an excellent resource book that helps laymen and experiencers, and professionals attempt to gain an understanding of this world wide Phenomenon."

Dolores Cannon Author (USA)

"Awakening helped me enormously. It thrilled me to learn people in Australia have experiences like myself. I found these connections because of one keen and courageous woman, a professional. Awakening is a big lantern book."

Dana Redfield: Author USA

"Mary your book is fantastic, I think it is the first truly comprehensive and accurate thing in print and you cover all with clarity and grace. Bravo to you.

Ruth McKinley Hoover, PhD President ACCET USA

"I have recently bought your brilliant book Awakening. You are to be congratulated in capturing just what an abductee feels, experiences and goes through, something not done by so many writers. I have a huge library of UFO and paranormal books and your approach is rare, if not unique. Your book has many truths in its pages. It's great to read THE TRUTH about the continuing the alien enigma. Thanks again for the beautiful book."

Ernie Sears Healer, Ufologist UK

'Regarding your book I can best describe the benefit of your book is whenever I feel like I need a question answered, I open any page and that question is answered. I guess like speaking to you without calling. Another strong message your book also portrays is how experiencers have coped with the whole fear factor. I now feel in control and not so insecure."

Karen Australia

"This isn't just a research book, it's much, much, more, and written by a lady who has hands on contact with the people she writes about. Her professionalism shines through the pages, combined with compassion and concern for the people she is trying to help. This is a book about experiencers. That is an experience in itself. Quality!"

Kate Miller UFO Magazine UK

"Awakening has become one of my 'bibles' for witness support literature because of its unique focus on how to help oneself and other experiencers."

James Basil UK

"When you read a book like this that really makes you sit up and think, it is often hard to convey in words how good it is. I do feel it should be on all serious researchers' shelves. Congratulations on quite a groundbreaking book."

Steve Rider UFO Group Southampton UK

It may surprise you to know that many people around the world, from all walks of life, believe themselves to be in regular contact with beings from 'outerspace'. Seven years ago, Mary Rodwell, trained midwife, counsellor, and therapist, would have considered these stories to be the stuff of science fiction, but through a series of events, she began to counsel individuals who claimed to be having these remarkable experiences. Mary grew to understand that these claims were not the product of an overactive imagination. They were real, happening to normal, healthy people, and what's more, it was all going on in her neighbourhood!

Through word of mouth Mary became known as a confidant and 'trustee', validating, honouring and helping people work through these bizarre and unusual experiences.

As the number of people that came to see Mary escalated into the hundreds, she realised that some people were aware of their Contact experiences, some had felt a lifelong inkling, but others were completely in the dark, being driven to find a therapist to help calm their unexplained and 'irrational' fears. Mary says: "The process of 'waking up' to this is not always an easy ride, but in every case, the outcome is transformational, it can be positively life-changing if the person has the right help and support."

Are you ready to ask yourself: " Am I Experiencing Alien Contact?" Let this book help you take the first step why not find out for yourself?
