Description

This renowned story-teller writes of a mystical pilgrimage in search of her daughter, and of the ensuing barrier of grief which becomes a confrontation with the myriad forms of human bondage: love, hate, power-lust, and slavery. In breaking down this wall of grief, Haas finds rare and precious insight waiting at the core of inconsolable loss.
