How
does an artist come to
terms with a brain tumor?
A compelling storyteller,
Lynn Eustis reveals her
experiences with
immediacy and intimacy.
Her journal entries along
with curated Bible verses
and quotations from poems
and literature are
inspiring. Blending
self-reflection and
humor, she explains how a
deeper understanding of
singing, teaching, music,
and mortality has
transformed her life for
the better.

  Certified
Alexander Technique
teacher For more than
twenty years, I have
greatly admired Dr.
Eustis for her bravery
and generosity in sharing
the most difficult
aspects of her own
artistic
self-examination. This
extraordinary book
chronicles her profound
connection of health and
music, channeling the
same emotional strength
that fortifies her
singing, teaching, and
humanity. Learning the
details of her harrowing
journey has inspired me,
with a gentle reminder
that friendship and
kindness are not to be
underestimated, at any
level. All my gratitude
to Lynn for allowing us
to see straight into her
beautiful heart.
