Using case histories from her rich experience as counsellor, psychotherapist and spiritual consultant, bestselling author Ruth White seeks to define both soul and spirit.

In it, you will explore the following: What is soul and what choices does it make? How can I decode the messages from my soul?

How much does one''s color matter? Are we the color we see when regarding ourselves in the mirror, the color others see when they look at us or the color assigned to us by our circumstances of birth?

Much of her story recounts her perilous journey: pursued by slave catchers, enduring cold and hunger, following the North Star.

In "A Man Was a Real Man in Them Days," Ruth Burns celebrates the life and character of the pioneers who dared to challenge the vast prairie of the Llano Estacado of Eastern New Mexico. In the 1880s along the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers, the cities of Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Ft. Sumner were bustling centers of commerce, but on the High Plains, due to the lack of dependable water, the prairie was inhabited only by occasional outlaws, Indian hunting parties, Hispanic mustangers and buffalo hunters. After the Civil War, cowmen began to bring their herds to the plains; and in 1898 when the railroad came, homesteaders poured in, lured by promises of free land. Barbed-wire fences were put up, and the day of the open range was at an end. Using interviews and letters collected by her mother in the 1930s and 1940s, Burns reveals the courage, determination, and good humor of these first settlers by using their own words, recorded while they were still living.

And Yermi, an Israeli writer, has a response for people who question his decision to live in the country that murdered his relatives. They each have different reasons for doing so, but they all reclaimed something that was taken from their families.
