The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You by Dorothy Bryant 
This novel is part love story, part science fiction, at once a Jungian myth and a utopian allegory.
“Truly unforgettable!”—San Francisco Chronicle
The kin of Ata live only for the dream. Their work, their art, their love are designed in and by their dreams, and their only aim is to dream higher dreams. Into the world of Ata comes a desperate man, who is first subdued and then led on the spiritual journey that, sooner or later, all of us must make.
“A masterful novel . . . a beautiful, symbolic journey of the soul, the journey of a serious dreamer.”—Berkeley Monthly
Paperback – 224 pages,  March 25, 1997

The Garden of Eros by Dorothy Bryant 
A simple, redemptive story of two damaged people, Lonnie and Ken, told in free-association-interior-monologue by Lonnie during her hours of labor before the birth of their first child. This may be the only novella that uses the process of childbirth to frame a story of a heroic, second-chance love.
Paperback, 170 pages, published May 1, 1979
