AUBURN – A Monmouth writer will speak about “The Soul’s Purpose” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Book Burrow on Center Street.

Linda Hargesheimer’s first book, “The Letter of Love: A Guide to Unconditional Love, the Soul’s Purpose and Human Energy Connection,” attempts to answer questions about life and love.

Some of the questions she addresses are: Why are we alive? What are we here to learn? Why is unconditional love important? Why do we each have such different challenges?

Arranged according to the body’s energy centers and visually illustrating how people connect, “The Letter of Love” gives examples from the author’s life to explain its concepts.

In 1980, Hargesheimer began a quest to answer these questions after a life-changing experience.

Over the years, she expanded her knowledge by reading on a variety of religious and metaphysical subjects, studying with several teachers, and taking spiritual trips to the Yucatan, Egypt, Peru and Brazil.

She was a teacher of junior high students and an assertiveness instructor for adults at Lewiston Adult Education.
