UNDER THE BRIDGES AT ARROYO DEL REY: THE SALON ON THE SPIRITUALLY CREATIVE LIFE is an inspirational book appealing to a public searching for a deeper and more meaningful life. Its focus is on the power of positive thought to lift one out of the mundane and into a more fulfilling existence. Author Carol Soucek King, MFA, PhD, uses her home, Arroyo del Rey*, which she and her husband Richard King created with architects Conrad Buff III and Don Hensman in Pasadena, California, as a metaphor for finding one's own perfect dwelling place. Yet as she reminds the reader throughout, finding one's "real" estate is a quest that must begin with being harmoniously "at home" with one's inner being. Through the shared wisdom and true stories of friends, acquaintances and speakers at King's monthly Salon on the Spiritually Creative Life, the healing nature of King's message becomes obvious: our lives can be changed beyond imagining through a commitment to reversing that which is negative and empowering that which is uplifting and spiritual. As The Salon itself has become a vehicle for sustaining such thought since King founded it in 1996, she has concluded the book with a helpful section, "Create Your Own Salon." Capturing the essence of each of the book's ten "Tales" are the sensitive sketches by artist/illustrator/book designer Miller Yee Fong. *Arroyo del Rey has been designated a Historic Monument by the City of Pasadena, and in the future will be given to the University of Southern California's School of Architecture to become the USC Carol Soucek King and Richard King Center for Architecture, Arts and the Humanities in perpetuity.

Set in19th-century Norway, this novel tells the story of a beautiful, eccentric, and unpredictable woman who bewitches everyone she meets. At the age of five, Dina unwittingly causes her mother’s death. Blamed by her father and banished to a farm, she grows up untamed and untaught. Her guilt becomes her obsession; her unforgiving mother haunts her every day. When she returns home, it is only Dina’s tutor who can tame her by reaching her through music. Married off at sixteen to a wealthy landowner, Jacob dies under odd circumstances and Dina - after a period of trauma during which she is mute - runs his estate with an iron hand. But she still wrestles with the unappeased ghosts of both Jacob and her mother, until one day a mysterious stranger - a Russian wanderer - enters her life.
