The Arrival of Iris Tallulah

The Arrival of Iris Tallulah is a retelling of a birth story for the purpose of healing trauma and transforming it into blessing. It employs the actual and effective practice of therapeutic writing: a fanciful re-writing of the script from a past event in order to resolve the emotions that arose at that time. As well, it is a true recording of an experience from the authentic perspective of one who observes life through the lens of grace, a believer in miracles and in magic.



A highly personalized account, this story has wide application not only for parents and children who have navigated less-than-ideal birth circumstances, but for all who are interested in exploring this method of healing one's past through writing.



The beauty of the tender illustrations, painted with heartfelt intention by a mother for her cherished daughter and first granddaughter, are infused with the power to convey love and healing on a soul level.



This book is nothing short of a veritable treasure.
