Tutti Frutti

Blackberry was a celebrated inspirational speaker, healer, and life coach. Tutti Frutti, a book found among his possessions upon his recent death, tells of a relationship between a character named Blackberry and two women that transformed all of their lives. Whether or not the story was based on Blackberry's own life remains an open question. Tutti Frutti tackles how we can connect with each other deeply and without judgement, how conflict can be resolved through openness, and how people may progress beyond society's rules that are no longer serving them-in order "to become both fully human and fully divine." Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is the inspiring honesty with which the characters speak to each other. The editor, A. W. Rooty, has supplied an introduction and numerous informative footnotes.
