Publisher's Synopsis
In My Life Before the Fire, William R. Mitchell has caught that sense of "peace and sufficiency" expressed "in words of the child I was," in the "tone, perspective, and psychological validity of the child." He argues that "the means to live worthily and joyfully" are also available to our own age, "once the possibility of doing so is awakened. It is this awakening I hope my little book will make possible."
