First published in 1993, this is the moving and inspiring story of how Jean Lavelle responded to the news that she had cancer. Jean now revisits this time in her life, of how she came to realise that there is more to cancer than its physical aspect, that the physical can be a symptom of the psychological. Having set out on her inward journey to heal herself, Jean wrote this book for the therapeutic value of writing it all down, of letting it flow onto the page, straight from the heart.
