Roy E. Klienwachter was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the son of Margaret and Ernest Klienwachter, and brother to siblings Lloyd and Jean.
Raised in poverty, the family just managed to survive on a meager government pension and help from neighbours. Away from the influence of urban norms, the family blended unnoticed into a rural farming community.
Roy’s father died in an accident when Roy was only one year old. His mother maintained the family on her own and never remarried until he was in his early twenties.
Roy and his brother held down part time jobs after school and on weekends, working at local farms. The money earned went to purchase clothes and school supplies.
Although it was a semblance of a family, it was dysfunctional and disconnected from its parts, each finding its own way to survive in a sometimes hostile environment. Food was sometimes scarce and worn clothing was patched. There was nothing left for extras or entertainment unless a neighbour was generous enough to take the family to the drive-in movie on rare occasions.
The family was isolated most of the time and never interacted with its neighbours. This may have been a blessing because, for most of his childhood, Roy didn’t understand poverty and didn’t suffer the associated stigmas until he attended high school. Even then, he always had a small amount of change in his pockets from his part time jobs.
Roy was proclaimed a miracle child by the doctors at the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children in Spokane, Washington. He fully recovered from a crippling disease that would normally have left him an invalid on crutches or in a wheelchair. The miracle of surviving "Perthes" was more about why he got it, the timing of the disease and the timing of his complete recovery.
Although the doctors, hospital, and the cast on the leg were outward signs that something was wrong, it never occurred to him that he would not walk normally again.
The innocence of a child and the determination to walk blotted out any ideas of being permanently crippled.
In just over a year from diagnosis to healing, Roy was completely cured and back at home.
He recently learned that, while he was in the hospital, his mother had been raped and had a child. The baby girl was given up for adoption when she was a month old. Her name is Linda and she is the one to whom this book is dedicated.
After 54 years of unknowingly living within 10 miles of each other, they were brought together by an internet connection.
The rape, birth, adoption, and connection to an estranged sister were the miracle of his crippling disease.
The faith and belief in himself has manifested into a modern day spiritual author who gives from the heart and personal experience.
Although Roy says his main purpose for writing is for himself, because it is in him and needs to come out, his message and purpose are very clear. His articles and books are designed to empower people to take responsibility for their ability to manifest their own lives and its circumstances.
Roy’s writing is passionate and to the point. And although you may not agree with him, you will always come away with a greater understanding of your own beliefs or a new awareness of your greater potential.
One of Roy’s greatest convictions is that we are not here in the physical life to learn anything but to experience everything physical - we are the creators of our life’s circumstances.
