A powerful chronicle of a wounded woman’s exploration of nature and self After nature writer Gretel Ehrlich was struck by lightning near her Wyoming ranch and almost died, she embarked on a painstaking and visionary journey back to the land of the living. With the help of an extraordinary cardiologist and the companionship of her beloved dog Sam, she avidly explores the natural and spiritual world to make sense of what happened to her. We follow as she combs every inch of her new home on the California coast, attends a convention of lightning-strike victims, and goes on a seal watch in Alaska. Ehrlich then turns her focus inward, exploring the tiny but equally fascinating ecosystem of the human heart, and culminated in a stunningly beautiful description of open-heart surgery.

This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.

A book for both survivors and their loved ones, Peaceful Heart: A Woman's Journey of Healing outlines one person's existence consumed with the trauma of a sexual attack. As a small-town teenager in the Midwest, seventeen-year-old Aimee Jo Martin was brutally beaten and raped one night at home when her parents were away. Attempting to forget about the attack, Martin would be plagued with eating disorders, depression, rage, and distrust for the next fifteen years. Thinking everything would be all right if she remained focused on goals, Martin became a police officer only to be forced out on disability after a drug-crazed assailant attacked her. Aimee retired from law enforcement and moved to Florida. She immersed herself in law school, passed the Florida bar exam, and was hired by a private law firm-but her problems persisted. Nervous, hyper, and sleep deprived, Aimee Jo Martin still faced the emotional affects of the brutal trauma. With the help of a loyal friend as well as a licensed therapist who used a treatment often effective for trauma victims, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), the clouds finally began to part for Aimee Jo. Her story is disturbing, yet ultimately hopeful.
