After reading "Lovely Rita's Café" I felt young again, like time stood still. The people, the places, and the experiences were so familiar. It resurrected memories that I thought I had lost in the haze of the 70's. Anyone who grew up in this unique time will find this book fresh, funny, and so very real. Whether you are a frisbee enthusiast or just curious about the free spirit, groovy lifestyle that surfaced in so many small towns all over America, you will thoroughly enjoy this read, BUT NO WAY WOULD I LET MY CHILDREN READ IT! -Julie Webber, Landscape Designer I think Ms. Wild has uniquely captured the feel and essence of a special time, bringing to life a singular culture in a way that everyone can connect with. As young men and women we all have that special group that comes to identify us in a time and a place, those experiences that define us and make us what we are. Her concise prose and touching insights into the life and exploits of Rita VanKamp immediately transport me to a self I too often forget, reminding me of all those things I did and overcame and that are part of what I am. We can all benefit from a story like this, smiling memories beyond thirty second solutions. You didn't have to be part of the frisbee culture to enjoy this hilarious and touching story. I think anyone who reads "Lovely Rita's Café" will be renewed again. Afterward a smile will come to their face when they see a young person going off to school or struggling to make their way in this complicated world we live in. -Peter Stravlo, President of PS Installations, Inc.

A three and a half year glimpse into the world of Rita Royale, an instinctive thirty-one year old unmarried, half Jewish, professional poker player. Free spirited mentally, physically and sexually. A woman entirely unconcerned with labels and purposely detached from any and all political worlds until a phone call from her sister changes everything. Within six months of taking power, Canada's majority left wing coalition government has voted overwhelmingly for Sharia law as the new law of the land. A backlash leading to a civil war erupts in Western Canada almost immediately and the Albertan woman who had ignored the world for so long is drawn straight into the heart of the whirlwind. From a private in the Western Militia to a major in Badger Troop, a special forces unit in the new Free Canadian Army, the beautiful Rita rises quickly in rank while guided by an eagle spirit and an unseen general with plans to retake and reshape his country. A serious and sometimes humorous look into the life and times of Rita Royale as she juggles love in its many variations, fights for women's freedom in a war of no surrender, and strives to fathom the mind of the military and the crazies alike.
