    Stephanie Flower was a happy child raised by loving parents on suburban Long Island in the 1960’s and 70’s. Like most adolescents, she questioned the meaning of life. Her search for purpose launched a life-long spiritual quest. Eye of the Heart traces the path of her journey from Stephanie to Sommieh, as she seeks a connection to God that transcends the material world. From the quietude of nature to the frenzy of Manhattan, from the grandeur of Mecca to a rugged mountain top in Pakistan, Sommieh’s inward and outward journey is one of mysticism, poetry, and faith; sometimes heartbreaking, often inspiring, but always imbued with God’s grace. It’s truly a journey to the soul.PRAISE FOR EYE OF THE HEART “Reading Eye of the Heart is like experiencing a wonderful, deep dream; the further you go the longer you want to stay. A paradoxical journey from elite Manhattan life to teaching slum children in Pakistan, Stephanie Flower invites her reader along for an intimate ride that will open your own heart's eye.” —Chris Abdul Rahman Blauvelt, Founder and CEO of Launchgood.com “There are many ways to read Sommieh Flower's memoir, but the most important one is not her conversion story, nor the contrast between the family and society into which she was born, and the societies in which she has lived during her adult life. For me as an educator, the most enduring contribution of the author is the vision of education--how to engage the young in an altruistic and uplifting kind of schooling. She has long been a person of vision with the even rarer ability to implement that vision with teachers and students, and to communicate it to others in a way that lets it live and spread. The story of her well-rounded humanities education and her embrace of Islam that led her into this vision of participatory, child-centered, empathetic and out-ward-looking education is one that the Muslim community should take to heart and embrace.
