Vanessa Valentine Werthan was a deeply spiritual person, even before her diagnosis with an aggressive form of Parkinson's disease. Her essays and poems reflect the deep knowing and inner wisdom that often arises from living with a terminal illness, and her words resonate deep in the soul of the reader. This book was lovingly compiled by her family, and includes drawings by her daughter Lily, as well as the eulogies given by her family, and a foreword by her beloved husband Allan. The cover was designed by Chris Richardson.
