Stories from the Dust in the Corner
by Laurie Marshall
A Meditation on the Mysteries and Richness of Life's Cycles. Author/artist Laurie Marshall shares the preciousness of each human life in her tender portraits and poignant stories about the common fate we all share. The book grew out of the loss of her mother and honors this woman who showed her that the "dust in the corner is a holy substance." We all turn into dust and dust always comes back...
Those who are grieving a lost loved one of any age, and those who seek hope in times of loss will be comforted by Stories from the Dust in the Corner.
