Together they have created a compelling, deeply personal and educational portrait of regular folk living life after one has received a terminal diagnosis. This book is the result of daily writing over the past year, as they clarified and expressed their feelings about Darlyne's impending death and Philip's loss. In an extraordinary reception of direction they decided to share their feelings with the public - an unusual and powerful decision. They speak clearly, cry openly, and dance for the joy of being alive. Darlyne brings to this endeavor over thirty-five years as a special education teacher, speech pathologist, workshop leader and hypnotherapist.

For the street-children in Benares, India, Amma was a Providential hand. Those meeting her for the first time are struck by the strength and femininity she emanates along with her comforting love and joy. For those in search of a Spiritual Master with a more familiar Western face, she is a revelation. From birth on, Maitreyi Amma has been strongly and permanently connected to the Divine. This has made her life extraordinary. An inner relationship with Christ eventually guided her to India. There, in 2002, she met the Great Master Sri Tathata. Sharing since then the mission with him, Maitreyi Amma travels tirelessly throughout the world. In her darshans, she conveys the unconditional love of the Divine Mother and the courage to accomplish the way leading to Self-Realization. Her teachings refer to those of Sri Tathata and thus to the great Vedic tradition of the ancient Rishis. On the other hand, they have the originality and practical wisdom bestowed upon her by being a Western woman.

Luisa Adams coaxes ten penetrating insights from the seemingly ordinary world of a small mountain lake. She transmits profound meaning from simple images with her eye for the sacred, her focus on sensual detail and an extremely talented pen - this little book will be on your bed stand for a long time." ~ Terry Pearce Founder/President of Leadership Communications, author of Leading Out Loud ____________________ "Say, you happen to drive past Luisa's lake in the woods, would you recognize it as a place of enchantment? The answer will depend on the visual acuity of your heart. The adventure you find may not be the adventure you seek; it wasn't for Luisa Adams in Woven of Water. And yet - like a water lily rising from the muddy bottom of the lake - for you as for her, whatever life brings can blossom forth into the splendor of grateful living." ~ Brother David Stiendl-Rast Benedictine monk, author of Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer, lecturer, co-founder of www.gratefulness.org ____________________ "Woven of Water immerses the reader in a mirrored landscape of inner and outer beauty. Luisa Adams' years of retreating for a month of solitude at an enchanted lake have yielded a sensitive collection of compelling stories and deep reflective insights.

On June 22, 2006 the United States Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Sheila White's favor, ruling 9-to-0 in the case she brought against the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company. She worked in the Tennessee rail yards, one woman alongside many men. Her book describes how she learned to stand up for herself and how she helped the legal system defend her from the discrimination, retaliation, and humiliation she experienced. Taking charge in such a situation is not an easy nor a fast process; it takes a lot of patience, but it can be done. After reading this book you will understand how she defended herself, and in the process, helped open the door for all working women.
