Finding The Divine Child invites readers into the extraordinary life of Rod Lathim: a fourth-generation Santa Barbaran, groundbreaking writer and director, visionary producer, and acclaimed visual artist. With honesty, humor, and heartfelt clarity, Lathim reveals how his creative path has been shaped, challenged, and ultimately illuminated by Spirit.
At just fifteen, while working in the Wine Cellar of The Big Yellow House in Summerland, California, Rod encountered mysteries that forever changed the trajectory of his life. These early experiences opened a doorway to a lifelong exploration of the human spirit — expressed through authentic storytelling, transformative art, and work that inspires healing and meaningful social change.
His journey also led him to chronicle the remarkable history of Summerland and its founding family in the first three published editions of The Spirit of the Big Yellow House. The fourth and final edition appears in the book as a special addendum.
Both deeply personal and universally resonant, Finding The Divine Child is a story of awakening, an invitation to rediscover wonder, trust the unseen guidance that surrounds us, and reconnect with the light that lives within us all.
