This book is about beauty. The beauty that resides within all of us when we are able to present ourselves honestly and humbly. It is possible to see yourself through the eyes of a woman, Sheila Sturgis Craig, in ways that connect you, free you, enliven, and motivate you. Hers is a life that so represents the lives of every mortal. A life that contains laughter, warmth, happiness, family and friends. A life punctuated with times of immense pain, sadness, and loneliness. A lifetime spent seeking to connect with other humans in ways that matter. A lifetime of struggle to matter, to love and to be loved. A lifetime of seeking to leave a legacy, an imprint, a sign that she was here and that she mattered not only to others, but to herself. This book is the story of everyone.
