My book is out and waiting for you and you can get it on Amazon.com  

It's a book of short true stories.  The title comes from the fact that I
was born with hip dysplasia (many Labrador Retrievers have it!) so I've
had 3 surgeries and 3 body casts so far in an attempt to fix it.  A couple
stories address this, but topics also range from the peacock farm I
grew up next to to spending time on a nude beach.  You can read
excerpts on my "Read" page and here are a few samples of what
people are saying so far about it!

I really loved this book, it was an excellent read. The stories were really well written and to the point,
full of emotion, character, and a genuineness that can be felt from beginning to end. It made me cry
hard, and laugh out loud, relating every story to my own life experiences. It really made me feel how
we're all in it together, and need to enjoy each other more. I loved every page of it.

A comical rendition of some of life's most tender moments. Rebecca reminds us to keep focused on
the important things and never to take for granted all that you've been blessed with - can you really
complain about your life if you've never had to sunbathe in a body cast? You'll laugh your cast off!

This is the best book I have read in a long long time. Rebecca is an excellent story teller, taking us
along with her on her exploration of life, mortality, coping, and nude beaches. This is a truly
inspirational and hilarious read!

These stories made me laugh and cry. Rebecca's writing is honest and witty. It tugs at the heart
strings and makes you reflect on your own experiences. She brings you to those deep places, but
then snaps you back with her quirky and hilarious sense of humor. I would recommend it to
anyone!!!

This book is a must read! Ms. Rine-Stone writes in a very witty, entertaining way. I literally could not
put the book down. I laughed so hard and at times wept even harder. The author pulled at my heart
strings, and she captured all of my emotions. Her stories are quite heartfelt and poignant. I felt
totally connected to her and her life experiences. In my opinion, this book rates stellar marks; and I
highly recommend it! I look forward to reading more Rebecca Rine-Stone books!
