This multi-faceted accordion book with pop-ups, sewn-in sections, and artifacts captures the dual life journeys on my road to completing my doctorate and finding love again. The book shows parallel journeys – one side personal, the other professional – which remain fairly discreet until my husband Keith’s illness and ultimately his death. The book captures the perseverance that was required to fulfill a deathbed promise to complete my doctoral studies and, in the process, rebuilding a life.
