Try a religious book store or maybe a Hallmark cards store. Miss Rice ( if she really did exist) was originally a Hallmark-cards poet- and improved her line to step up to various religious tracts- some of which have questionable theology. She originated ( if this was one person) the One Solitary Life ( about Christ, not Rice, no pun intended) and may have contributed to the downbeat monologue Footprints or footsteps in the sand- there are two tracks of footprints and over the rough spots- only one- etc. Kind of hokey stuff N"yet.
Helen Steiner Rice was a poet originally affiliated with Hallmark Cards. She got into some rather unusual religious tracts, some way off the beam of orthodox Christianity. The One Solitary Life seems to imply that Christ"s divine powers were inert or inactive during his childhood. In the same poem she argues ( without sound BIblical basing) that He never traveled more than fifity miles from his place of origin. This cannot be proven- first off all look at the thousands of miles of mission activities all over the ancient world by Saint Paul. Ships, animal transport, etc existed at the time. The very nature of his Human work- a Journeyman carpenter, involved travelling about different construction sites! Rice"s theology almost smacks of Underdog in a spiritual garb.
