Triversity Fantasy: Seven Keys
To Unlock Prejudice
by Stephanie West Allen, JD
"A tale to beat bias. Critters give keys to halt prejudice. . . . Although
'Triversity Fantasy' is serious, it's also fun. There's magic: Lien arrives
in Triversity via a bubble bath, animals talk (often making better sense
than humans). There's music: Tobit the chimpanzee plays calming tunes before
each key is explained. There's hope: An enlightened woman named Piper Pintada
describes a tolerant world where shades of grey are celebrated and honored.
. . . Anyone who reads Allen's fantasy senses optimism. According to Bev
the cow: "I promise you that if you learn the keys and other matters simply
at the level we have presented them . . . you will have all the pieces you
need to interact in a profoundly different way with others." The Modesto
Bee
"Stephanie West Allen's delightful tale is a remarkable achievement. In
a style that is captivating and engrossing, this unique story teaches about
diversity and prejudice while at the same time it entertains us. It is indeed
a delicate line that separates fact from fiction, yet Allen makes this line
invisible as the reader is quietly exposed to the subtle impact of cultural
differences on perception and communication". Larry Samovar, PhD Professor
of Communication San Diego State University Author, Communication Between
Cultures
This upbeat and practical workbook helps anyone to design a unique end-of-life
service for him- or herself. Creating your own funeral or memorial service

You relieve those you leave behind of many decisions during their
time of grief.
You give the bereaved the emotional satisfaction of knowing they are
carrying out your wishes.
You may open up new areas of discussion with your family.
You are able to create an event that truly reflects your life.
Reviewing your life for the purpose of creating the service allows
you to evaluate how you want to use your future.
And this gentle reminder of your mortality has an effect on your decisions
about today.
