Description
As a young professor sits with a student and then her own mother through their illnesses and deaths, she experiences an inner stillness that calls into question all that she thinks she knows. Guided by a powerful dream in which her dead father appears to her as a teacher, she comes to recognize the walls of illusion that separate us from who we really are. This beautifully written memoir is both a story about courageous people and a spiritual revelation: that death is a return to love without barriers.
