The book begins with the secret I carried as a child and explores the silence that followed me. But the heart of the book is the Light.
For years I carried a secret that kept me silent. Growing up in Dublin and England I learned early on to hide my feelings just to survive. I eventually found a sense of freedom and identity building a television career in London during the 1980s. That newfound voice was soon tested by a series of devastating losses.
A miscarriage brought profound grief, and then a tongue cancer diagnosis physically stole my speech. As a young woman the silence I had known emotionally was suddenly my physical reality. I had to figure out who I was when the very things I relied on were taken away.
I turned to art to heal and communicate. Slowly through creativity I rebuilt my life and discovered a much deeper voice than the one I had lost. A spiritual awakening gave my art a new purpose - it became the visual voice through which Angels could speak. I wrote this book because I want you to know that what happens after the silence is what truly matters. We may not get to choose every chapter of our story, but we can choose how we write the chapters we have left.
