2 Becoming A Young Lady in 1880s - Death, Divorce, then it gets weirder

The story of a normal girl growing up in the 1800s shifts introducing the concepts that there is more to the human experience than most people recognize. Going away to the New England Conservatory of Music, her disastrous first marriage, then left a widow after her second marriage and how she supported her four children as a piano teacher.

The autobiography of Harrie Vernette Rhodes. What if you had an usual story like this in your family history? Few of the incredible family stories make it into a book that brings the events and most importantly the context to life. The most interesting part to me is that she believes that everyone can learn to see and do incredible (as in unbelievable) things if they put aside some of the concepts of modern views of reality. I am amazed at how many of the things she says are highly relevant today as a way to reduce stress in your life among other things. More on this as we get deeper into her story.

This book "In The One Spirit" was written about my great-grandmother so it has always been a curiosity in the family. Was it possible that she could do the many things that are talked about in later chapters. The magical parts, the healing and her many experiences talking with the spiritual realm are told in the same matter of fact way that she tells of riding in the horse drawn wagon with her father to deliver medicines to people.

The co-author Margueritte Harmon Bro brought the first viral attention to the American seer Edgar Cayce, "Miracle Man of Virginia Beach," published in the magazine Coronet in 1943. After that, she heard many stories of physics ad healers. Despite this, the author found only two people interesting enough to write about - Edgar Cayce and Harrie Vernette Rhodes. This autobiography of great-grandmother was book published in 1951.
