Pinch Me: A Long Walk From the Prairies - Softcover

Beth Rowles Scott writes of her vivid experiences and remarkable accomplishments with passion, wit and grace. Walk with her as she shares her self-discoveries, joys, pains and losses, starting with her near-pioneering childhood on the frozen plains of Saskatchewan and reaching to a fulfilling and fulfilled maturity on the burning plains of Africa. What a wonderful, life-enhancing book this is.---Jerrold Mundis, author of Gerhardt's Children, The Dogs and other books, former editor at the New York Times

It is oddly comforting that little Beth figured out at an early age that there are simple answers: If you don't wish to be pudgy, only eat half your sandwich! But there is nothing simple about Pinch Me. Beth Rowles Scott's philosophy of happiness threads together the remarkable stages of her life. A compelling read, as she describes the pursuits and passions of being an education leader and a philanthropist, Pinch Me helps us all believe that we too could strive for a richer life.---Donna VanSant, EdD, President of Healthy Ventures

Beth's search for happiness throughout the stages, transitions and defining moments of her life is inspirational! It gives hope and direction to all of us, regardless of age, gender or situation. What is more, Pinch Me is an enjoyable read.---Diane Rickards, PhD, psychologist and clinical counsellor, founder of Transpersonal Psychology Network
