Description
May Sarton's sixty-sixth year, 1978-79, was a difficult time: a cherished relationship came to an end, she had a mastectomy, she fought against depression. But, she writes, "When there is personal darkness, when there is a pain to be overcome, when we are forced to renew ourselves against all the odds, the psychic energy required simply to survive has tremendous force." This journal tells how she drew on that force, and how her friendships, her love of the natural world, and her growing audience of devoted readers brought light to the shadows."

I definitely read this book at the right time in my life. I took away such a strong sense of self and understanding, and reassurance of my own feelings upon finishing this book. Remarkable. I’m looking forward to reading more by May Sarton.
