Joyful in The Silence: The Making of a Casual American Contemplative

About this book

How does a creative, spiritually gifted child learn to express herself and find her place in the world amidst constant family troubles, losses, upheavals? This captivating life-story and spiritual autobiography of multi-faceted educator, best-selling author, Marsha Sinetar ("Ordinary People as Monks & Mystics"; "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow ") shows what it took for a child to reveal her true self despite a tug-of-war between her wish to belong and her inner prod to add value to others from the wellsprings of her uniqueness. Should have equal value for parents, educators, therapists chefs and truck drivers -- all everyday readers -- who long to understand the sheer drive of sheer talent, and/or who hope to contribute to others by actualizing their own right livelihood. Highly recommended.
