Book Description
THIS NOVEL WAS MUSCLE TESTED AT A REMARKABLE 474 LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITH KINESIOLOGY. Keep the Change explains a fictional world where the monetary system has collapsed and the implications are just beginning to materialize. Can we survive? If we do survive, what will our world look like, feel like, etc? Is there something that could take its place? The planet stops dead silent still and waits for direction of how to reshape the new world. The old monetary exchange system refuses to heal, cant be fixed. In Keep the Change, we follow the stories of Able and Ted through the maze of a new perspective where man and machine become partners in the search and restore or find another solution. The quandary that the collapse of the monetary system creates, mirrors events in todays world. As the characters converge on an unexpected discovery, the question that must be answered is; will this be the best solution to resolve the global crisis so that all can move ahead or not! The book is fiction, visionary and metaphysical and relates to anyone who uses money in their everyday life. With all of the controversy concerning countries and governments about debt and policy I'm surprised that society hasn't placed this novel on the best sellers' list. One review explained it would make a great movie or series.

Book Description
And of course, drawled Laura Polk, she of the irrepressible spirits and what Mrs. Cupp called "flamboyant" hair, "she will come riding up to the Hall on her trusty pinto pony (whatever kind of pony that is), with a gun at her belt and swinging a lariat. She will yell for Dr. Beulah to come forth, and the minute the darling appears this Rude Rhoda from the Rolling Prairie will proceed to rope our dear preceptress and bear her off captive to her lair -" "My - goodness - gracious - Agnes!" exclaimed Amelia Boggs, more frequently addressed as 'Procrastination Boggs', "you are getting your metaphors dreadfully mixed. It is a four-legged beast of prey that bears its victim away to its 'lair.'" "How do you know Rollicking Rhoda from Crimson Gulch hasn't four legs?" demanded the red-haired girl earnestly. "You know very well from what we see in the movies that there are more wonders in the 'Wild and Woolly West' than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio-Amelia."
