'Kathy Rhodes writes about grief and fear and denial and pain-and she does it well. She crafts scenes that make us feel like we’re in the room with her. Highly recommended.' -Neil White, author of In the Sanctuary of Outcasts. At some point life boils what’s in your crucible down to the salt of you. Everything she had depended on her husband-job, income, identity, companionship, future hopes and dreams, even her house-and then, suddenly, he died. Kathy Rhodes staggers onto the grief road and navigates her way through the fog of disorientation, decisions, 'death duties,' the dreaded firsts, and basic daily survival. She lands a new job, loses it when the company fails, gets another job, loses her mother and her childhood home, then sells her own house and buys a smaller one. Five years down the road, she realizes she has journeyed from 'our' to 'my.' She has built a whole new life. Her journey parallels the metamorphosis of the dragonfly. Dragonflies start out in the water, submerged in the dark, then gradually, in time, find their way to the skies. Rhodes survives the darkest time of her life and makes her way onward and upward. She finds the well place in her heart.
