Will the Real God Please Stand Up; My First Eighty Years
This is a memoir that reads like a novel. It is the story of one woman’s path out of organized religion into a spiritual identity of her own, written in the cultural context of 20th century mid-America and into the 21st century.
The narrator describes the factors and events that led to a change in consciousness for her. Conversations with friends, imaginary discourses with favorite dead authors she loved, a breakdown or breakthrough of her soul, the early deaths of people all around her: these were all contributors over the decades. However, the biggest contributor was her experience with the God-Moments in her life.
Stories within stories within stories is an ongoing theme for this memorist as she travels the long road of soul evolution. Life lessons she has learned from each decade lived are described in this story of chaos, creativity and change, juxtaposed against historical events which move her life along.
She began her public writing in the academic world through the unpublished dissertation on a subject dear to her heart, Women Returning to School: Lifelong Learning. After she began her professional life, she wrote and published two books about what she knows best and has lived through:
Codependency: PowerLoss, SoulLoss, Paulist Press, 1994.
Archetypal Reiki Healing Kit, Tuttle Publishers, 2000.
