When the author's twenty-eight-year-old daughter, Kelsey, was killed in a bicycle-bus accident in Boston, she yearned to find a way to continue their conversation. Although most of Barbara's religious beliefs were destroyed the moment she learned of Kelsey's death, she soon realized grief could be a form of spiritual practice and embarked on an inward pilgrimage that included mindfulness meditation, Jewish methods for interpreting sacred texts, Quaker ways of listening for the inner guide, and Shamanic drumming. The beaches and forests on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State provided daily inspiration as she learned to balance a never-ending sense of loss with ever-increasing joy. Dialogue with Kelsey: Before and After my Daughter's Death will speak to those who have lost a child or a close loved one and also to those who, for whatever reason, are trying to balance sorrow and pain with joy. ***** Legacy Book Press LLC is a traditional publisher of personal stories told via non-fiction, fiction, poetry, or a combination.
