At the Foot of the Mountain

This remarkable work proves that a time of devastating change can result in magnificent growth and illumination. In these intensely personal and universal ponderings Episcopal priest author-poet and therapist Alla Renée Bozarth relates the wrenching decisions that caused her to move from her exile in the Midwest back to Oregon to her place at the foot of the mountain. She takes us through her grief at the death of her father and of her young husband then shares her gradual healing through the creative process of writing this book. <P>As she finds strengths to minister to herself she ministers to us. In introducing us to her special places and symbols her teachers we are moved to discover our own healing metaphors for ourselves.
