Description

Hidden Wonders of the Human Heart is a moving testament to ways of seeing which reveal the tender wisdom that stirs in our hearts in times of change and sorrow. Drawing on eight true stories of revelation and renewal from her psychotherapy practice, Susan Holliday invites us to see the ecology of our hearts as a vital realm alive with the possibility of new beginnings.
