“Grief, love, fear, and peace: Pamela Cranston the chaplain bore witness to the immense spectrum of the human experience. Cranston the empath invites contemplation about the struggles and triumphs of people on the path to healing and transformation. Cranston the spiritual seeker ignites awakening to divinity by meditating on nature and the lives of saints. Through a lens of justice, Cranston the poet invokes a deliberate seeing and learning from ‘galaxies full of gifts, stories, and dreams.'” —Maileen Hamto, San Francisco Book Review
