70 x 7: yes, that is four hundred ninety, a journey in forgiveness

A chronicle of recovery from the devastation of an unexpected ending to a marriage. The book has three layers of text. The main pages are collages where the author uses symbols and metaphors to share powerful feelings as they evolve from betrayal to forgiveness. Projecting from the spine are 32 additional strips bound into the book which serve as conflicting voices in the author’s head. A third layer of communication occurs in a sequential border of small images.

Out of print.
