At the Foot of the Mountain: Discovering Images for Emotional Healing

Rating:
Summary: Proves that devastating change can result in growth.
Review: This remarkable work proves that a time of devastating change can result in magnificent growth and illumination. In these intensely personal -- and universal -- ponderings, Episcopal priest, author-poet, and therapist, Alla Renee Bozarth, relates the wrenching decisions that caused her to move from her "exile" in the Midwest back to Oregon, to her place "at the foot of the mountain." She takes us through her grief at the death of her father and of her young husband, then shares her gradual healing through the creative process of writing this book. At the end, nature and art and the human spirit make a union with the whole.
