Anne Frank: Life In Hiding

Hurwitz, Johanna

AuthorHouse

Third Place Books says, "Teetering on Disaster is a funny and poignant autobiographical novel, which tells how she fought for her American Dream through the Sierra Nevada's and beyond.""My parents argue to this day that the few years we spent living without any electricity or running water and without a toilet to flush, did not have a profound affect on my being or my life. But let me assure you, at my adolescent age, when most girls had a Gillete Venus razor, apple smelling shave cream made with Vitamin E and warm running water, it did. If I'd been a bit younger, like my brothers, then perhaps I would have seen the value of the way of life my parents chose for us. The quote goes something like, "You can't choose your family." Good thing too, because I'm pretty certain that given a choice between the one I was born into and the picturesque normal American family I would have opted for the latter and then I never would have become the completely nutty, naïve, intelligent, Mercedes-driving hillbilly, small town girl living in a big city that I am today.The elements that define me began with the inheritance of a dangerous combination of genes from my Mom and Dad, and so I'm pretty sure I've been teetering on disaster since birth. But the moment which began to invent my character began the summer of 1992." Michaela Renee

While in meditation, I sensed the familiar urging of my inner voice, and reached for a pen' 'Children are arriving in vast numbers to assist in the crossover to an enlightened age. They are a new prototype of human being, and their 'soul' purpose is to help humanity return to love' Wisdom's Children describes a new generation of highly sensitive children whose heightened vibration and consciousness can bring about a transformation in the hearts of humanity. It blends metaphysical information the author received intuitively with her experiences as a teacher and a parent. She has witnessed the beauty of these children as they struggle to adapt to a world and an outmoded educational system that doesn't recognize their expanded perceptions and abilities. 'The young beings among you carry an intuitive knowledge of universal truth and reflect your deepest longing as spiritual beings: to live in harmony with each other and the earth' Today's high vibrational children require a new understanding of child development. They need parents and educators who will nurture their universal way of thinking and multisensory gifts, so they can manifest their vision of global cooperation and peace.
