Here is a loving portrait of Gabrielle Roth, the person, not the icon. Written by Robert Ansell, her husband of 35 years, Gabrielle is an intimate tribute to the power and grace of one of the most dynamic and beloved figures in the world of feminine spirituality. Originally published in hardcover, we are delighted to now bring it to you in digital form.

SPOILER ALERT – this is a love story.

What a stunningly beautiful book! I was touched immediately, just seeing the cover, and was more and more touched, to the point of tears, with the words and testimony. I will continue to savor this for the rest of my life.

I just received the book this morning and I'm still recovering. It is the most beautiful, sensitive, artistic vision. The photographs are so vibrant and lively, they took my breath away and when I read her sayings I had to stop. I have to let them absorb one by one. They are brilliant.

Amazingly beautiful!

My beloved husband bought me the book for my birthday. "Thank you" is insignificant words for my feelings of gratitude for the beauty in the book. My dancing heart is stirring.

I made it all the way to page 82 before beginning to cry. Big warm crocodile cleansing tears! It was the best 4 hours I have spent in a long time.

The fotos were exquisite and so rare and the writing is so incredibly poignant, incisive, efficient...and still, I had some big belly laughs.
