5.0 out of 5 stars For all who have ever experienced a dark night of the soul., March 6, 1999

This review is from: The Tree That Survived the Winter (Hardcover)

Wandering around a huge mall, surrounded by people, I felt incredibly alone. My marriage was over and I felt so lonely, so unloved. I wandered into a bookstore and picked up this book... and it changed my life. This simple, loving, child-like story helped me through my dark night of the soul. I now facilitate grief recovery workshops and give it as a celebration of survival to all those in my groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sign of hope for all "Winter Survivors.", June 5, 1999

This review is from: The Tree That Survived the Winter (Hardcover)

"...she felt an inner voice - a small but steady voice - which remained fluid and alive when everything else in her seemed paralyzed." Over and over again, as I journey through the winters of my life, that line, which has taken on a mantra quality, gives me hope. Mary has effectively captured the longings of the human heart in this delightful story which speaks so deeply to the child as well as the adult spirit in each of us. I am grateful for the ways in which this book continues to touch my life.

This review is from: The Tree That Survived the Winter (Hardcover)

I've given this book to several people who have experienced the loss of a loved one in recent years. It has encouraged every person who has read it. It is easy reading, but very impactful...a book that should be kept on the shelf and read any time life throws a curve ball.
