One woman's story of survival, of support, of accessing inner resources as a means of healing. A story told in words and images, in 27 color drawings from night and day dreams, in journal writings, and in narrative. A book originally conceived for family and friends, and then written finally for anyone who might benefit from this story and its drawings; it is not just about cancer, but is for anyone facing a life-threatening illness.

"Path Through the Fire vividly affirms how creative expression becomes an intimate partner and helper during periods of crisis and uncertainty, when we are on the edge of survival and need the most personal medicines to transform an illness into affirmations of life. I can only explain this as art's angelic function through which expression comes and goes in the most difficult of times. Wendy Wheeler offers everyone a terse account of the spontaneous use of art as a soul medicine. This is the type of outcome study and patient satisfaction story that will gently help to transform medicine itself." -Shaun McNiff, author of Art as Medicine and Trust the Process: An Artistic Guide to Letting Go "You don't have to be sick to benefit from the wisdom and light available in Wendy Allen Wheeler's beautiful book Path Through the Fire. If you are afraid, let Wheeler's path inspire you so that you too can look inside and access the riches that await you there." -Dr. Christiane Northrup "[Wheeler's] book, like [her] life, is a work of art." -Dr. Bernie Siegel
