The Art of Dying shows us how to do it well. Practical and encouraging in tone, it leads us through the conflicts we all seek to resolve in our "end time"--from early physical concerns about pain and changes in appearance; to emotional concerns over relatives and reconciliation; to psychological concerns over loss of control and loss of identity; to spiritual concerns and the need to feel that our life has had meaning. Author Patricia Weenolsen, Ph.D., has helped thousands of men and women struggle with these universal yet seldom-discussed issues. With the help of case histories, exercises, and Weenolsen's own warm yet straightforward advice, we learn to integrate the many positive gifts that death and dying bestow upon us.

Dying is something we all must do. Practical and encouraging in tone, this book leads us through the conflicts we all seek to resolve in our end time -- from early physical concerns about pain and changes in appearance; to emotional concerns over relatives, reconciliation, and our own daily roller coaster of highs and lows; to psychological concerns over loss of control, and the need to feel that our life has had meaning; to spiritual concerns about what dying is like and what happens next. The author coaches us on what to expect and how to prepare, maintain control, and gradually transform ourselves from a physical existence to a spiritual one.

The year is 1692. The place is Salem. After witnessing the hanging of her beloved sister on Salem's Gallows Hill, fourteen-year-old Mary flees the witch hunters with her five-year-old brother, Ephraim, into the American wilderness. Trek with them to Katahdin in Maine where Ephraim escapes up the mountain to the Great God Pomola's stronghold in the Cave of Storms. Fight beside the limping Soaring Eagle who, desperate for Mary's love, throws stones for her to pick up in the Abenaki tradition of seduction, only to suffer her rejection, after which the flirtatious Hill Dancer captures his affections. Escape with them past bands of "child-chomping" Iroquois to the prayer village near Quebec, Canada, where the Jesuit Fathers try to convert them from Manitou's ways to their own God's. Tumultuous love, betrayal, treachery, poison, and miracles await them.
