On November 7, 1993, Marion Woodman was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Here, in journal form, is the story of her illness, her healing process, and her acceptance of life and death. Breathtakingly honest about the factors she feels contributed to her cancer, Woodman also explains how she drew upon every resource-physical and spiritual-available to her to come to terms with her illness. Dreams and imagery, self-reflection and body work, and both traditional and alternative medicine play distinctive roles in Woodman's recovery. Her personal treasury of art, photographs, and quotations-from Dickinson to Blake to Rumi-embellish this unique chronicle of a very personal journey toward transformation.
Marion Woodman, Ph.D., is an internationally renowned analyst, author, teacher and workshop leader and the author of several acclaimed bestselling books, including Addiction to Perfection.

Elinor Dickson, Ph.D., is a Jungian therapist in private practice in Toronto and the former Director of Psychological Services at St. Michael's Hospital.
