Title A Place Called There Author Martha Harris Synopsis A great philosopher once said over eight hundred years ago "From suffering to wisdom summarizes our history." This has held true for me as well as millions of others throughout time. All of us have little books stored away inside us. Don't be afraid to touch it. This book is a poignant journal to life and death, which includes thoughts, feelings, dreams, and conjectures in a short story format based on truth. Yet, not everything in it is true; it's not written in chronological order for one thing. It connects into a large picture with nothing more than a leaf missing here and there. The picture is still whole and may be even more beautiful without the extra leaf than a dress without an extra sequin. Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American poet, essayist and philosopher who lived between 1803 and 1882, confessed he did not know the truth. "The truth is as hard to capture and bottle up as light," he said. Another reason that it can't be considered all true is my thoughts, feelings, and dreams are different from any other individual. It also includes interviews and conversations with others; what one person would say or think might not be the same as what another would. It's still connected into an interesting story, as true as I could possibly make it according to my own views and according to as much perfection as I could give it. It can fit into almost any category - autobiography, biography, comedy, mystery, spiritual, self-help, drama, philosophy, and there still may be other areas that it would fit into. It even has some historical value (it shows what people were like in years past), some poetry, and some creative writing in it. In a candid and eye-opening style, A Place Called There is a taut, sometimes outrageous true-life drama, which relates an unbelievable story of the author's life. It's not about where we have been or about what we have done; it's about where we are going - to A Place Called There, a place satisfying and suitable to our own minds as well as to God's. We should be happy There. Biography From the time I was four years old - a time when I played in mud pies and hated it - I would say, "Someday I'm going to write about this." Regardless of how little education I had, the incidents kept piling up. Throughout the years I repeated, "Some day I'm going to write about this." At the time I got into a small newspaper business, I had no idea it would lead me to this point. It must have been written in the heavens because a little more experience, a little more knowledge, and a little more wisdom also kept piling up. All of a sudden one day I said to myself, "Today is the day." I stopped saying "Not now!" And today has become the day. "It's a long row to hoe" to cover all of my life in just one book. This one covers only some of the highlights. Maybe other points will be brought out in the future. All of us have little books stored away inside us. Don't be afraid to touch it. A great philosopher once said over eight hundred years ago: "From suffering to wisdom" summarizes our history. It's held true for me, as well as millions of others through out time.
