Map of Life and Beauty

By Fanny Barry

Book Overview

This is a love story: the story of how I learn to love myself. I survived cancer to find myself lost and alone. I had left my partner of 13 years just before the diagnosis. Many people left me after: the new man, some old friends. The only place I found comfort and felt love was when I practiced yoga or was writing and drawing. I felt powerful again, I went to Tulum, Mexico for a break and to just stop. There, I felt good for the first time in a long time. "Wouldn't it be great to bring every survivor here, just for a week or so?" I said to my friend as we sat on the beach. That became my dream and then my obsession: a place to bring survivors for rest and recuperation and a place to find myself. I was certain that I had found the cure for cancer: happiness.
