Ten Thousand Presents leads us, by way of prose and poetry, through the adventures of Betsy and Robert Firger as they rose to meet the challenges of a lifetime. The prose traces the course of their marriage, careers, family, travels and ultimately Betsy's illness and death from cancer. The poetry of how they lived through the social demands and personal struggles of their generation evidences their singular world, which they created with spirit, joy and love. Their story addresses a range of triumphs over crises including mental illness, evolving careers and health and recovery when confronted with cancer. It inspires and teaches by the example of their resolve to challenge conventional wisdom and respond uniquely to many of the difficulties we all will face with maturity and aging. Ten Thousand Presents demonstrates how creativity and responsibility can yield the fortitude and courage to deal with life's most extraordinary trials. By turning despair to hope and revisioning problems as opportunities, Robert and Betsy applied these lessons of success to find solutions as gifts of love.
