The Whispers Know My Name

Book Cover & Preview Text
In the beginning God was Thou. As far as I can determine I began a conversation with God when I was about three years of age. I was living in and out of the home of Orthodox Jews who prayed. I am not Jewish, but my early environment set the stage for my life. In the Wassermann home, prayer was important; when we prayed, there was an atmosphere that bespoke the presence of God, and I felt nurtured and nourished. These early experiences determined the rituals and priorties which became my life. I was indeed to be Called by Many Names because the Whispers spoke my name in the beginning. Italics: Called by Many Names

About the Book
From her early childhood episodes to her most recent encounters, she depicts how the Whispers have provided inspiration, insight, strength, and courage as she attempts to shape her existence. The text provides not only a step-by-step process but memoirs that allow the process and application to unfold as historic events. The author’s purpose is to leave a legacy of wonder about how these historic events establish, maintain, and sustain an on-going dialectic which ultimately determines one’s destiny.
This text is the completion of a trilogy. The author revisits the substance of the dialectic in the prior texts so there is no need to have read those texts to follow the process, events, and outcomes depicted in the text. The Whispers were introduced in the first text, Called by Many Names. The nature of the conversation involves mental discourse, listening, reflection and contemplation.
For many, her relationship with the Whispers may appear to be unique, but what makes this text unique is the way and means used by the author to present her experiences. She glides effortlessly through the literary elements and genre styles, as she captures one’s interest.
