Produktbeschreibung

Things are as they are because in no other way can they be. Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life: A Spiritual Journey of Learning and Self-discovery, the moving autobiography of author Antonietta Francini, MD, tells the doctor's story of surviving World War II, battling cancer, and finding the healing power of mystical and esoteric teachings during a trip to India. Growing up in Rome, Dr. Francini experiences firsthand the cruelties of World War II, whose sights and sounds make her hate God for allowing such suffering. At the age of twenty, she leaves Italy to begin a new life in Venezuela, enrolling at the university as a medical student and receiving her degree four years later. Dr. Francini soon completes specialized training in gynecology, gets married, and starts a family. But in the fall of 1964, drastic changes in her health lead to a diagnosis of invasive thyroid cancer. After radical surgery to remove the tumor, Dr. Francini still blames God for all suffering-hers and others'-and she knows she needs to recover her faith. She embarks on a spiritual quest for peace, an adventure she shares in her multifaceted autobiography, Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life.
