Dear River: Love, Loss & Spirituality
A remarkable tale of resilience and healing in the midst of tragedy.
What does it take to rise above your circumstances? To look at your pain in the face and declare that you will not let it drag you down? To believe that despite misfortune, your life has worth and purpose? In the memoir she has written, Heather Drummond explores these questions and unfolds her journey towards abundant joy and freedom from suffering.
Heather’s life has been enriched with love, but it has also been challenged with sexual abuse, low self-esteem, drugs, alcohol, and suicide. In an earnest search for an escape from the deep sorrow that she faced, Heather felt drawn to the unconventional ideas of Garth, a man in whom she admired an unshakable inner peace and someone she fell deeply in love with. Soon, Heather found herself exploring the unfamiliar intricacies of Eastern theology while also trying to stay connected with her Christian roots.
Her transformative journey culminated in a newfound self-awareness, gratitude, and healing. This gave Heather the courage to share her story with the world. Heather’s experiences will resonate with anyone who embarks on their own journey towards self-discovery, joy, and healing. What she has left as a legacy for her son River is, in fact, a loving gift to all.
