GRIT & GRACE:
The Transformation of a Ship & a Soul
By Deborah Rudell
About Grit & Grace
There are many stories about people trapped in their material existence, who go through a transformative experience and discover their soul and connection to the Divine.
In Grit & Grace: The Transformation of a Ship and a Soul, I write about knowing my soul as a child, and spending my life striving to integrate and embrace my spiritual awareness while being fully human and part of life on Earth.
We follow my story through teen years and reading metaphysical literature and into adulthood where real life collides with the constructs of self-identity from book learning.

About Deborah
I grew up in a small town in British Columbia, the eldest of four children. Typical of the 60’s and 70’s, there were many children in the neighborhood and plenty of independence and autonomy.
As a teen, my coping mechanism for the pain I saw and felt in the world was a reading list that included Max Heindel’s The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, Gina Cerminara’s Many Mansions, Levi Dowling’s The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ and books about Atlantis.
Currently, I am a registered dental hygienist and work in clinical practice as well as teach dental hygiene in a community college in San Diego. I enjoy swimming, dancing and the beach. The tiny house I share with a black cat was built by a retired sea captain in 1906 and has a tall ship carved into the front door.

“Great book … The story holds from the first to last page. Your adventure … on the open seas is … understated … The whole crew had such scant experience … And knowing how the “captain” was likely to become seriously ill …
