Author and poet Terri Lyons chronicles her story of pain and transcendence through this compelling diary of love. Through the storms and looming uncertainty, Terri walked the dark mile caring for not one, but both parents plagued with dementia, blindness and congestive heart failure. While balancing her literary career and enduring an increasingly insane work enviornment, she made hard decisions from strong convictions of love and loyalty. Her despair strengthened her resolve to follow her conscience deeply rooted in her ancestry and faith. Walk a mile in the shoes of an only child who transcended through hearbreak and grief, who spoke truth to power. She is a living testament of grace and defined her own success. -- Lulu.com.
