Publisher's Synopsis
LIFTED TO THE LIGHT A Story of Struggle and Kindness A Memoir by Alice Orr Award winning author and workshop leader At the beating heart of each chapter of this moving story a woman struggles - most mightily against herself. All her life, Alice has taken care of herself and believes she must always do so. Now she faces an adversary too formidable to battle alone. She battles anyway with all of her strength, until that strength is gone. Caring individuals appear, one by one, determined to help. As they reach out, she learns to reach back and comes to think of these generous souls as her angels. When she is too weak to lift herself, they carry her through on wings of kindness. The cancer monster is no match for Alice and her Angels. But her biggest triumph is discovering she no longer needs or wants to be on her own. Lifted to the Light is a real-life story of resilience and growth in the face of fearsome circumstances. Each thread of powerful storytelling leads to another in a dramatic, emotional read. ALICE ORR is a former book editor and literary agent. She is the author of eleven novels, two novellas and No More Rejections: 50 Secrets to Writing a Manuscript that Sells. Alice also presents workshops on writing for publication and personal growth. Alice has two grown children and two perfect grandchildren and lives with her husband Jonathan in New York City.
