From the author's obituary (1936-2015): "Among his several humanitarian awards were the Golden Rule Humanitarian Award, 1979 Sertoma (Service to Mankind) Award,1986 Alumni Achievement Award from ASU, Ottawa University Meeker Award, and the 1987 Sammy Award (Good Samaritan Society). He was honored on the Ralph Edwards' This Is Your Life program which was followed with full articles in U.S. News and World Report, Reader's Digest, People magazine and other publications. Ralph also wrote four books: Rainbow Acres; TLC for MRA; Reach for a Rainbow; and Pickin' Rainbows. From his website: "Ralph Showers left the pastoral ministry to pursue a lifelong dream of starting a facility for handicapped people. Ralph was moving a small feed barn from Camp Verde, to the edge of town where the ranch was located. While riding atop the barn and moving telephone wires, so they wouldn't obstruct the transport, he backed into a low-hanging power line carrying 7,200 volts of electricity. This accident necessitated the amputation of both of his hands and both forearms. In spite of this accident (or perhaps because of this accident), Ralph's dream became a reality. With the help of supporters that appeared to be coming out of the woodwork, Rainbow Acres ranch for mentally handicapped adults opened its doors. Ralph continued his involvement with Rainbow Acres, serving not just as 'Founder', but also as 'President and Director of Fund Development and Public Relations.' Ralph has also been instrumental in starting many similar facilities across the United States and in foreign countries. Ralph has written four books. One simply titled "Rainbow Acres", is the story of his life, the accident where Dr. Showers lost his hands and forearms, and the beginning of Rainbow Acres. Ralph Edwards, host of This is Your Life television show, surprised Ralph Showers with his life showcased on NBC. U.S. News and World Report, did a write-up about Rainbow Acres entitled New Doors Open for America's Retarded. This was followed by an article in Reader's Digest, and another article in People Magazine. Dr. Showers was honored by the State University Alumni Association for 'professional excellence' as Alumnus of the Year. Ralph was given the Sammy Award by the Samaritan Health Service organization and the Samaritan Medical Foundation.". 1st ed? (No additional printings listed. Softcover. Near Fine - As New condition.
