Publisher Description:

"In diary format, Patricia Riascos leads us through her upbringing in Colombia, her move to the U.S., and her passion for expressing herself through art. An accomplished painter, her art shines through these pages. When diagnosed with ALS, she reminds us to appreciate what we have--even the privilege to walk." --BATIA COHEN, PhD, author of Una Amapola Entre Cactus

"Patricia Riascos provides an amazing example of honesty, resilience, and wisdom in this heartfelt memoir. She shares how relief can come from the courage to articulate moment-to-moment realities of life so lovingly described in this work. This is not a book about chronic illness, trauma, or ALS. Rather it is a book about how one orients oneself through life's ever-changing directions with the intention of maintaining emotional balance and gratitude." --LINDA DIAZ, ACSW, psychotherapist
