“The book is so moving, heartbreaking and real and beautiful. And the images are true art. It's on my shelf now, but I have a feeling that there'll be a time when I give it to someone who, tragically, needs it. That's a strange thing to say, perhaps, but that's what comes to me. So much loss in this life--and also so much to praise. Thank you for this labor of love and grief. It's a privilege to have been a part of your journey. With love and admiration.”

- ELLEN BASS, co-author of The Courage to Heal, and poet who wrote: Indigo, The Human Line, Mules of Love, and Like a Beggar.
