"...a refreshingly honest examination of death and of our culture's treatment of it...when the memoir narrows its focus to the interwoven forces of love and death, it offers readers a powerfully hopeful perspective."

I found Two Rare Birds profoundly personal, compelling and inspirational. As the characters grappled with their dark nights, I came face to face with my own soul and found an expanded and deepened understanding of my mortality. Rich in imagery, Two Rare Birds speaks a universal language, making it accessible and relevant to all.

Two Rare Birds, a story encompassing cancer, complicated relationships, childhood wounds, and the transformational journey of many-a-courageous seeker. It is heartbreaking and uplifting … an inspiring story of love and hope. It is a slam dunk for those with Pema Chodron on their night tables and is equally intriguing for those whose book collection is topped by Cheryl Strayed or Steven King.
