I must say that I did not find her voice in the piece to be as strong as that of the woman whose story she was telling, though that does not diminish the beauty of the experience she shares. While I can celebrate her obvious triumph, I just didn't feel the excitement of her process coming through in her words. Frazier is a skilled writer, though her Editor has not done her art justice in this book.

In August 2003, virtually overnight, Jan Frazier experienced "a dramatic falling away of fear"--not just the immediate fear of her annual medical test but, as she learned as time went on, her fear of everything. She was "flooded with a causeless joy that has never left me." In this book the commonplace belief that enlightenment is only for saints comes apart at the seams. Anyone can be enlightened, and all we need to do is ask. No library descriptions found. |
