Summary: A simple, easy book for the Soul
Review: Appearances is an extraordinary book in that it joins words and images in a simple yet powerful book. This book speaks to everyone, regardless of the point they are in their lives. As an example, the opening words are:, "Wherever you are at this moment is exactly where you are supposed to be, no matter how things may appear." and includes my favorite, among many favorites: "The dignity the world awards you is in exact proportion to the dignity you award yourself". Very wise and beautifully illustrated book. I wish I could order five more. Lucia Duncan

Review: Rusty has a way of bringing you home to yourself. It's a wonderful book for teenagers and adults. The book concentrates on acceptance of you for the person you are. How it's possible to love, dislike, not believe and believe all at the same time and in the same moment.

I have given this book on several occassions, to a teenager struggling with her identity, and an adult struggling to find hers.

A book I gave to my therapist as a Christmas gift. It meant so much to me to share Rusty's words. I am sorry it's out of print, I have tried ordering,no luck. I almost gave my copy away!!
