To the Spirit of Men

About the Book

Each chapter contains a brief discussion based on the respective title of the chapter and is followed by subsections called "Observations, Rants and Social Sharing" that deal with sociological and current affair issues. Following that is the "Male Appreciation Corner" which discusses the author's favorite men and finally, each chapter is then completed by a series of digital photo art on male subjects (whose signed permission has been obtained).

About the Author

Paula Ruttone was born and raised in 'Frogtown' (Elysian Valley) so named by the locals because of a plague of frogs in the 1940s coming up from the nearby Los Angeles River. She was brought up there in a teeny tiny little house in a neighborhood that specializes in growing challenging eccentrics and determined individuals, including herself, who march fiercely into life, each to the beat of an unseen drummer.

She is a published journalist and poet. She has studied Sociology, Psychology, and Law. She has acted, written screenplays, worked as a publicist and entertainment coordinator, as well as provides what she calls "Social P.R." for people who command notice.

She continues to embrace cultures and diversity with an openness and enthusiasm that is inspirational. Whatever beat this drummer is marching to, a lot of motivated people are falling in behind her to share in the richness of this lady. I am honored to be one of them.
