Valley of the Shadow
Valley of the Shadow, by Patricia Helen Bangs, is the story of the author’s grief process following the death of her childhood sweetheart and beloved husband, Lloyd R. Jones in 2003, after 57 years of marriage. It also explores the tension between an aging body and the mind’s capacity to keep growing. Drawing on a strong spiritual foundation and mystical insights, the author invites the reader into the process her mind went through as she dealt with the practical problems of daily living after her husband’s death. Although the body may be aging, the author believes, the mind is always capable of growing to higher levels of perception and maturity. Patricia, a Massachusetts native born in 1926, early in her marriage lived with her husband at the Naval Base of Dutch Harbor, Alaska where he served as Supply Officer and she taught school in a Quonset hut. After her husband retired from the Navy, the couple lived in Connecticut and later Massachusetts. They retired to Vermont in 1986. They raised a daughter, Polly, who lives in New Hampshire. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit The Iris Fund, a WomenCircles’ project providing support for women’s art and for establishing a Women’s Library in the new Green Guest House. Books will be available December 15th. Order placed now will be sent to buyers before the gift giving season. Please use the form below. |
