Synopsis

This is a book about change, a renegotiating of self and the world. In early childhood we separate self from the world; there are two identities now. Either through ageing, trauma or insight we seek to renegotiate this boundary to be more connected and loving. This book is a quirky at times comic testimony to that creative transformation.
