If you are suffering from pain. . .If someone you love is suffering from pain. . .If you'd give anything to be able to overcome that pain, without drugs. . .If you need inspiration from someone who has "been there". . .This book is for you.
In 1982, Gari Carter's old life abruptly ended. A head-on car crash destroyed much of her face. Ahead were almost ten years of operations that gradually rebuilt her jaws, cheek-bones, nose, and gums. Ahead lay months of helplessness, pain, anxiety, and depression. Ahead lay overwhelming fear of pain. But ahead lay much more.
Healing Myself is the story of one woman's successful battle to rise above pain and despair. But it's about more than pain. It's about the elation she felt as she gained control of her suffering. It's about the lessons she learned from hard experience-lessons in patience, love, and proper priorities.
Perhaps most astoundingly, it's about her discovery of a series of commercially-produced audio pain-control tapes that changed her multiple-hour operations from ordeals to be dreaded into challenges to be met calmly and confidently-without anesthetics!

When Colonel William Leonard died in 1901, among his effects was found a lovely jewelry box containing a simple ring carved of cow bone and engraved with his birthdate and the year of his imprisonment in Libby Prison. This humble memento, so carefully preserved, was made for him by his men to mark his 46th birthday when they were all prisoners of war in the notorious Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia. Also found was his journal, which begins when he was colonel in Purnell's Legion Infantry, which was charged with protecting telegraph and rail lines in Maryland and Virginia, and ends after he was paroled from Libby Prison and returned to Maryland. The bone ring and journal writings were passed down through his descendants, and his memory has been kept alive through family stories. Leonard's great-granddaughter Gari Carter, who previously published the Civil War journals of another ancestor, Franklin Dick, now presents Col. Leonard's journal, richly annotated and supplemented with family lore and local history.
