On This Slow Walk

AN EXQUISITE, MOVING NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF TIME TO THINK


When one twin is dying, what does it mean for the other? And what might happen if one is a person of faith and the other a doubter? What is the pain for each, and the beauty? This book shares Nancy’s poignant personal journey with Bill as he begins to die, offering us the things he taught her about living in the days of his dying. It attests to the power of love in the face of deep difference.


The book is also a gentle declaration that all humans can grow to understand each other. It is a call to us to walk with each other slowly, to listen generously, to be serenely and acutely ‘with’, so that ‘other’ bows to ‘we’.


But it is not a polemic. It is a tale of revelation and wonder, an embrace of things of the spirit and heart and mind, things that require consideration born of respect, and joy born of loss.
