Twelve Stones Notes on a Miraculous Journey (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: Twelve Stones is the story of Barbara Carole, a secular Jew who worships Art and Romance, who tries to unravel the meaning of existence, and make every moment a masterpiece. She lives and loves with passion, though not always with wisdom, in Parisian garrets and in Moroccan villages, in the light of Southern France, and in sunny California. While embracing the drama of life and inhaling the fragrance of flowers along her path, her search is sometimes misguided by intensity and misled by intellectualism. At the zenith of her quest, Barbara discovers something even more meaningful than truth: She encounters the Source of love. Her life changing confrontation with God transforms a strong-willed, sensual, tough minded individualist . . . and then her real journey begins. This book is Barbara's altar of remembrance, built from the stones she has pocketed along her winding path. She builds this altar to honor the God of miracles.Twelve Stones is the story of Barbara Carole, a secular Jew who worships Art and Romance, who tries to unravel the meaning of existence, and make every moment a masterpiece.
