Publisher's Synopsis
Designed as a guide for inner awareness and healing, A Trail of Breadcrumbs - a Poetic Memoir of Survival, Healing and Spiritual Growth is a unique pairing of poetic memoir and a psychologist's insights.
Catherine Wilson tells her story through poetry, prose, and song lyrics with uncompromising honesty and heart. Psychologist Lyndall Johnson provides a Guide for Going Deeper through insights and questions following each of Wilson's pieces, offering guidance for the reader's own inner inquiry.
The book sheds light on many aspects of Wilson's life as the child of a mother with mental illness, as a mother and grandmother, and as a caretaker for her mother during her final years. Through the entire arc of the story, we experience Catherine's desire to live in congruence with her true self, to deepen her relationship with the sacred, and to find comfort in the refuge that nature provides.
Lyndall accompanies the reader every step of the way, offering tools they can use to illuminate the layers of these same themes and experiences in their own lives.
