"I will sing you to me," said my mother, before she died. And she did. Circle the Bones with Shining is a story of love beyond death-and a prayer for all mothers and children, separated and reunited.

As a daughter recovers from a life-threatening illness, she's told that her mother's cancer has returned. But mysteriously, through caregiving, they connect deeper than ever before.

Sitting by her mother's bed, listening to her stories, the daughter witnesses a new radiance. She sees her mother's spirit, and her own strength. And she connects with a circle of "shining women," working to rebalance the world and restore health and joy.

Across countries, cultures, and the boundary between life and death, Circle the Bones with Shining is a love prayer sung between a mother and daughter-through all the worlds of God.
