In 1988 Herb Fitch wrote to Stephen and Lynn Jay about his intent to take four years and write four books. This did not come to pass before his transition on June 13, 1996, but a seed was planted that left the Jays with a deep desire to fulfill Herb's wishes. In the following years, they condensed his manuscripts and tapes, adding photos, letters, journal entries, and descriptions of their experiences with him, including the meat of their ten-day private 1989 seminar on Kauai.
