The Light From Here: A Breast Cancer Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998868905)

Maureen Egan is an artist, mother, wife and caregiver who lost her footing at the age of forty-nine and fell into a long period of questioning and uncertainty. At fifty-one, just as she was emerging from this challenging time, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Light From Here tells the story of how she walked through all of it, making art, practicing mindfulness, and learning to love and be loved in the small ways that change a person. She shares the struggles and the breakthroughs. Her luminous art complements the stories so that they become our story, timeless and meaningful. Reading this book is like sitting by the fire with a dear friend who shares her reverence for the path of the heart.
