This story is about life, death, pain and love, and the way they are intertwined to form the unique fabric that is the life of Sibyl. We join with Sibyl as she traces her life, beginning during the Second World War as a small child, struggling to find her place, in a world of where parents and siblings often seem unreachable. As she recounts events during her years of school, university and marriage we begin to form a picture of a complex, passionate woman, who turns her frequent struggles with panic into an ebb and flow of fear and love. We share with Sibyl the relief she feels as she begins to witness the causes of her panic leading to acceptance and understanding. She beckons us to follow her as she embarks on a journey into her love affair with David, a voyage filled with magnificent love, but also deep grief, and we share her pain as she chooses to make one of the biggest sacrifices of her life the giving of a gift of love, that will haunt her for many years to come. Unseen, we walk with her as she continues her days alone. We share with her in the joy she finds after Davids death, the birth of a loving spiritual connection that raises her consciousness, strengthens her love and gives her a new understanding of the splendour of life.

"I spied your book at a friend's house, and read it. I had no idea you were such a gifted writer! I could hardly put it down. And i knew you were courageous, but your courage really shines through the whole book, as well as through your writing of it. I am full of admiration - you have an extraordinary ability to put feelings into words. I do hope you will write more."
Paula Polson, Victoria

"I have just finished reading your book, in many ways it spoke to me. It's a great book and I hope it will touch other lives. It came at a time I needed it."
Peter Rogers, Western Australia

Over de auteur (2011)

DR KRISTIN SCHNEIDER is an Agricultural Scientist, who has worked for 25 years in teaching and research in universities in Melbourne Australia. After leaving the university, she worked briefly as a consultant, and found herself speaking to people who had an alternative view of Agriculture, often on hobby farms. Her interests broadened to embrace Biodynamic Agriculture and Permaculture, which gave her a clear understanding of ecology, the dependence of all things upon each other. She worked to encourage people to live in harmony with their surroundings. From here it was a small step further to reach into the Oneness of all things, and to know that the smallest acts can have great consequences. After retirement she spent seven years in a community in Sweden where she studied massage and healing, working not only with people and their physical and emotional states, but also in plants, soils and the earth herself. Through her Great Uncle who fought during WW1, she developed an interest in the shattered lives of the soldiers of that time, and has visited many of the old battlefields, seeking out men’s stories to bring order into old memories. This the subject of her latest book. Now she lives in Australia, dividing her time between her children and grandchildren, writing and travelling.
