		<description><![CDATA[My mother gave me my first journal when I was ten years old after my grandmother committed suicide in my childhood home. She didn't know of any other way to help me cope with the loss of my beloved grandmother who was also my caretaker. She told me to pour my feelings onto the pages of my journal. That seemingly innocent gesture set the platform for a lifetime as a writer and for journal-keeping.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once you have written in your journal, you may desire to publish your story or you may not. Many aspiring memoir writers ask "why should I write my story?" While there are many reasons to consider, one factor to take into account is the value your story might have for other people. Consider the support  that Raab has shared with her readers, and then consider offering your own.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope the book does inspire people to, most of all, learn more about their environment, and from that learning, develop a greater connection with their local land, which will naturally lead to the kind of advocacy and stewardship that creates enduring ecological change. I also hope the book helps people see not just more of the connections between cancer and ecological degradation and destruction, but between healing and finding kinship with the trees, fields, birds, skies and other aspects of our homes around us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it's far more effective to describe the big stuff of life -- spiritual struggles, traumas and wounds, giant yearnings or losses -- by entering through the backdoor.
