About Her Book - Ringo and I
Ringo and I – Michal Segal-Arnold’s debut book, Pardes Publishing Houseut
Inspired by her time living on Indian reservations, her doctoral studies in the United States and the music of The Beatles, Ringo and I tells the tale of a woman who has been consumed with grief following her father’s passing, unable to find solace. Even her profound spiritual encounters fail to alleviate her sorrow. Everything changes, however, when Ringo Starr appears in her life, telling her she is a time traveler who has the power to help others. Skeptical at first, she eventually embraces the notion, finally embracing the notion that she has the capacity to embark on journeys beyond space and time. She realizes that these are not just dreams, as she had previously believed, and discovers that we are all capable of helping each other and are all interconnected and have a collective responsibility to support one another, just as she learned during her time living with the Indians.
The book provides valuable assistance to individuals grappling with private crises, grief, and separation from loved ones. The first edition quickly sold out, prompting the release of a second edition to all stores by Pardes Publishing House, available directly from the publisher or in stores. Ringo and I achieved considerable success thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations, with numerous readers reaching out to Michal to thank her and share how the book helped them personally.
