Description
Book Description: Susan Andra Lion’s house, studio, and a lifetime of art burned to ash in the Colorado Marshall Fire. From the frantic 10-minute evacuation to the rebuilding of her home, establishing a new studio, and replacing trees and gardens, deep and profound insights emerged. She experienced a phoenix transformation – from the devastation of a practiced life to the reaffirmation of who she is and what is important for the rest of her life.
This series of intriguing short stories not only includes running from the fire and experiencing grief and trauma, but also making conscientious decisions to move forward. Loss, loneliness, creativity, displacement, change, love… they are universal experiences that all humans encounter. What Sue recognized, as she embraced the opportunities that arose, was that those emotions bound her together with her steadfast friends, family, and community, and the exquisite resilience of Mother Earth. She reemerged with a wisdom more powerful than imagined.
