Lucid and factual, penetrating insights of various mental health professionals are also successfully integrated to show how women and men change and respond to new experiences. We are deeply moved as we witness the human cost of catastrophic stress on this brave woman and others in her life. We feel her pain and grief as she attempts to explore the frontiers of her spirit. There is a delicacy of feeling as we experience this woman's deep love story and the bleakness of guilt she must overcome.
This woman's spiritual journey of healing and self-empowerment appears to be predicated in "the unexamined life is not worth living." Her unfailing courage to be, in spite of the many challenges she faces due to her life events, will hopefully be an inspiration to those who are currently struggling with major issues in their life.
