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.

Review
"I believe that Marion Woodman now lives on a new level. Radiant...her intensely personal book, looking death straight in the eye, may also be her best book yet." --The Bloomsbury Review

It is incredible to read the diary of someone like Marion Woodman, especially on such a close and intimate subject as her own illness and healing process through cancer.I felt that her insights which can sometimes be intellectually challenging in her other books, were well and truly landed in her revelations of her own process through such an important time in her life. I don't want to engage with its concepts or analyse it particularly, just to recommend it to the reader as 'soul food' - inspiration and nourishment and a huge contribution to the collective wisdom of the body.

marion woodman is unequaled in her ability to see life, in all it's complicated paradoxes, and articulate her journey through it... i find her latest book to be compelling as she shares her personal story with compassion and rigorous honesty... just knowing that she has walked her own path inspires me to continue to walk mine... if you've ever wondered if someone walks ahead of you then read 'bone' and know she is ....

Marion Woodman - a gentle heroine

Once I picked up this book I could not put it down until I finished it completely, then I went back and made notes on it. My own world view is different than Marion Woodman's but I picked up some valuable insights from this book anyway. It also contains the most horrific account of a cancer treatment I have ever read anywhere. It makes me shudder weeks later just thinking about it. Marion Woodman's own beautiful personality shines through this book. It will also inspire you to try to eat ten servings of the brightly colored vegetables and fruits a day. Go ahead and buy it, it is well worth it.

Marion woodman is a treasure who in this discourse through her illness never loses her insight to the joy of life. Great read for anyone who wants to prepare for their own ending.
