Most of us, at some time in our lives, will confront the daunting tasks of providing for the well being of a loved one. We become immersed in the turmoil of events and emotions surrounding the patient - and lose ourselves in the process. During the process of caregiving, and even beyond its eventual end, we experience guilt, anger, fatigue, frustration, doubt and remorse. Is there a way to soften the blows of these debilitating circumstances? The Caregiver in You prompts us to give ourselves permission to acknowledge shifting circumstances. The illustrations beckon us to study and create new meanings that apply to our own life experiences. We are reminded to broaden our concept of love to include ourselves as well as those for whom we give care... and to do so without fear. We walk with angels when we devote our energies and hearts to the well being of others, and this gives us validation to embrace the caregiver within.

The littlest of actions can have the greatest of consequences. "A twig seems harmless," Daga whispered cryptically to her. "But if picked up by a storm's gust, it can pierce through the largest oak with the force of an iron spike." Bran is a young lass who lived in the dwarf kingdom of Tor Ambroc. She was a normal dwarf just like any other -- except she liked to ride horses. Vilmar is a simple farrier's son. He is a better horse trainer than scholar. But all the dwarves say he "stinks of magic." Delkan is a dwarf maiden with a cunning wit and a bad habit of saying just the right thing to get everyone in trouble. Daga is the mysterious uncle to every dwarf born. He carves magic toy horses and he likes to dabble in the ebb and flow of Fate. Unlikely friends, together they strive against evil who has marked all dwarves for death. Thus is born the Legend of the Blood Raven.
