This book is
rich with archetypal material--both in images and in words. The
author/artist has taken a deep inner journey to find that simply
expressing her emotions through art has helped her to heal. The art is
filled with shadow and light; the words are profound. It is a
fascinating testimony about the power of art as a healing resource.
