"Silk and Clay is not just a story of illness. It is a testimony to what it means to live with soul-deep honesty. To let your body be reshaped by suffering and your spirit softened by grace. To be clay-broken, fired, and formed anew. And to be silk-resilient, fluid, luminous with the light of faith." Dr. Mike Klaybor, Ph.D., Psychotherapist

"Dr. Deepak's journey needs to be read and re-read, not for the sake of knowing another person's path of heartache, suffering, and survival, but to have someone join you on your own path. Too often physicians do not allow others to look beneath their god-like and professional exterior, which is the tragedy of the healing experience itself, but through humor, humility, and honesty, Dr. Deepak becomes not only a clinician, but also a client and co-conspirator on the path to wholeness and wellbeing. Silk and Clay moves beyond memoir into another realm of writing, a place where I invite all readers to visit." Rev. Dr. Phuc Luu, Ph.D. Author of Jesus of the East: Reclaiming the Gospel for the Wounded and Buddha Talk: About Suff ering, Desire, and Happiness
