The Gift Inside the Wound

Beschreibung

The wound is where the light comes out. Homeless and heartbroken when her husband files for divorce so that he can become a celibate monk, TeriLeigh packs her Prius and travels across the United States with her dog. Beginning at a North-woods Minnesota cabin, she greets Grief and lets him guide her through an ice storm in Iowa. She then meets Strength and Vulnerability in the warm sunshine of Florida, and takes a back-seat to Solitude along the winding highways of the east coast. Perspective shows her a different point of view in New York City, and Grace gives her insight at a sacred bay in Maui. Welcomed into the guest bedrooms and at the dining tables of family and friends, TeriLeigh stitches her broken heart with the help and nurturing wisdom of a breast cancer survivor, a Vietnam veteran, a therapy dog, a transgender man, a dominatrix, and more. Through her journey, TeriLeigh learns that home is not a place but a feeling, love is not an emotion but a state of being, and wounds are not curses, but rather, precious gifts of life. ""I had to make myself put The Gift Inside the Wound down so I would be able to 'spend more time' with TeriLeigh. Truthfully the whole book captivated me. It was like I was riding along in the car with her, in the back seat as each personified emotion sat in the front with her. I could feel the coldness of the air, and the sting of grief and sorrow every time she mentioned them." Nikki Smith, yoga teacher "This book is RAW, full of emo
