title: Twist of Faith: The Story of Anne Beiler, Founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels
author:  Anne Beiler 
description: At first glance, this spiritual autobiography might appear to be another of those rags-to-riches memoirs that retired business owners love to write. Happily, Beiler puts an unusual twist on her story, interweaving the chronicle of her business's startup and phenomenal growth (farmer's market stand in 1988, 700 domestic and 119 foreign locations 15 years later) with a candid personal account of bereavement, abuse and adultery; family and workplace struggles; and extended periods of grief and depression. Sometimes the chronological leapfrogging can be confusingare we in Texas now, or Pennsylvania? and what year is it again?but often insights from one time period illuminate struggles from another as Beiler alternates between incredible navet, especially about predatory males, and sharp-eyed business savvy. Money does play an important role: I see God giving you things you wouldn't believe, a friend predicts. I see houses, I see land, I see cars.... Yet Beiler's first priority is philanthropy, not accumulation. Religious readers will appreciate not only her generosity but also her inspirational accounts of prophecies, answered prayers and, above all, forgiveness. <i>(Mar.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  **WHILE** Anne was being indoctrinated with her cousin's
  
  
  philosophical theories, Hamlin had little by little let himself be
  
  
  drawn into the little clique of more mystical and Bohemian
  
  
  pre-Raphaelites whom Edmund Lewis had collected round Madame Elaguine.
  
  
  The old-fashioned, long-established æsthetes, who believed that
  
  
  artistic salvation resided solely in themselves and their kith and
  
  
  kin, and who strangely muddled together the theories of an esoteric
  
  
  school and the p
