Editorial Reviews

Tara is not just a heroine willing to face the supernatural trials of the goddess Inanna, she is my hero. Through this book, I learned so many things I will use when supporting family, friends and clients through the kinds of challenges that always leave me feeling tongue tied and hopelessly inept. Just as important, I have gained confidence in facing my own mortality as it arises through circumstances that offer the gift of transformation whenever we, like Tara, embrace the deeper wisdom of life, with all its imperfections, challenges, and, most importantly, intense moments of beauty every step along the way.

As Tara so beautifully describes in her book, healing the physical body isn't just about getting rid of the physical cancer but more about the emotional cancers that lie deep within us and prevent us from living up to our human potential.

My heart swells with gratitude to have had the opportunity to play a small part in teaching Tara about healing her body. I'm so proud of her and for her. I know that her story, through the pages of this book, will be an inspiration to countless women around the world.
