"Delora French invites us to come along on
her life journey through these wonderfully
thoughtful, sensitive and honest poems. We
are called to remember our own childhoods,
to experience anew the beauty of nature, to
deal with our own doubts and fears, and to
feel again the joys of being alive and being
in relationship with lovers and others who
walk beside us. While some of these poems
draw on her long struggle with bipolar
disorder, they more often put us in touch
with the strength and resilience of the
human spirit and thus ultimately with the
sacred in all of life." Rev. Dr. Dan
