All the Honey - by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In All the Honey, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer holds
both fine, honest sensuality and slow explorations of
soul. What is shared here is a way forward in life, a fierce
openness that refuses nothing--that knows damage
and healing, darkness and radiance, sorrow and winged
resurgence, reflection and laughter and learning.
