Kindred Spirits: Relationships That Spark the Soul

ACORN PRESS-CHARLOTTETOWN-PEI 2005 We have all known "kindred spirits" -- friends who seem to intuit everything about us. Driven by curiosity about these soul-to-soul connections, Dianne Hicks Morrow has devoted the past 10 years to ask, "Who is your kindred spirit? Who kindles the fire in your soul?" For this collection of intimate recollections, she spoke to people as diverse as poet and children's writer Sheree Fitch, photographer Freeman Patterson, theatre director Duncan MacIntosh, Yuk Yuks comedian dentist Marina Sexton, and university president Wade MacLauchlan. Each of these respected Atlantic Canadians reveals the passionate bonds to people, places, and animals that have inspired their deepest trust and unconditional love. This unique interview book raises such probing questions as, what is at the heart of a kindred spirit connection? How can I find my kindred spirit? Can a kindred spirit relationship survive a sexual relationship, let alone a lifelong commitment? And are kindred spirits forever?
