What Readers Are Saying:
- Jim Barnes, Independent Publisher Online -
"To read this book is to be soothed by words and images that waft
across the pages like a soft, summer breeze. The gently rendered
watercolor illustrations calm the eyes and the poetic text eases
the brain. With this meditation on grieving the loss of a loved one,
author KD Larson explores how such a loss affects a person, to the
extreme of changing their outlook on life and confusing their very
identity. She explores unanswered questions about the afterlife,
inspired by some the writings of Albert Einstein, explaining the
power of love to heal and how it endures —even after we've left our
physical bodies. Larson gives much credence to the comfort of nature
and its healing powers: how the weather and the changing of the seasons
heighten our senses; the majesty of the sun, the moon and the heavens;
how we can lose our cares in the flowing water of a stream. Yes,
nature's beauty is a good place to seek solace and to explore feelings
about death and the Great Beyond. This book captures that notion
with elegant grace, and leaves the reader renewed and inspired."
- Laura Duksta - Author of I Love You More -
“That Place lets us know that even when our loved ones move on,
their love is ever present.”
- John Edward, Host of Crossing Over, Psychic, Author & Lecturer
