A shy, lonely child becomes an even lonelier adolescent. Straight A's do not save her from a secretarial desert. She marries her high school sweetheart, then almost loses her marriage to alcoholism.
Once in recovery, and without a guide, she becomes a leader in medical education and a nationally recognized leadership coach.
Her story is one of discovery-of how locks can become keys, of how courage can transform relationships, of how befriending ourselves can become as natural as judging ourselves.
She offers hymns of recognition and praise to Creativity, God, and Nature. Each with mystery at its core, these three energy sources ignite the poems which are layered throughout her history.
This book springs from the author's ceaseless astonishment at the abundance that can be won from vulnerability and captured with words.
