The Pebble Path: Returning Home from a Forest of Shadows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432754198)

Breast cancer! Few words strike more fear into one's heart than these. Yet the author faced that very diagnosis, twice! How did she cope? By picking up pebbles of wisdom like Princess Fanciful did in the fairy-tale world of The Pebble Path.

Following her cancer diagnosis, Fanciful travels down a shadowy path through the forest of treatment. Along the way she expresses her thoughts through poetry. The poems of The Pebble Path allow the reader to contemplate cancer's multiple facets. Sometimes the poetry is laugh-out-loud boisterous, sometimes meditative. It is always honest.

Since cancer generates emotions that tend toward the universal, The Pebble Path will resonate with any reader whose life has been interrupted by malignancy or who works in a cancer-related field. The ogres, hags and other residents populating the forest of The Pebble Path will fascinate those searching for meaning and humor in their lives.
