Have your paradigms ever shifted? This collection illustrates the changes of a spiritual seeker: Vedantic to Christian, Pro-Choice to Pro-Life, and Bohemian to Settled. Bertha's Butter Club , a one-act comedy, jabs at every person who thinks they have the formula to make others lose weight. Dyslexic chronicles my many and long attempts to seek a cure. Other essays compare convicted murderers Susan Atkins and Karla Faye Tucker , and uncover the tragic deaths of two abortive women. Also included is an essay based on a Caroline Gordon short story, my creative writing mentor at the University of Dallas. Out of the Mouths of Babes This one-act has a 13 year old pro-life debater who greatly loves her dad who performs abortions. The play is followed by Daughter of India , a biography of my aunt, Sanskrit scholar Camille Svensson. At last comes Poetry . One poem can hold a whole universe -- finding love, losing love, reaching for God but touching a dark hole and discovering the true God. This book covers forty years of love, disillusionment, and then finding love again.
