註釋This latest addition to Tarcher's NCR series follows in the footsteps of the very successful Healers on Healing (76,000 copies net). Healing is a collection of nonfiction stories written by such acclaimed authors as Oliver Sacks, Diane Ackerman, Tracey Kidder, and Anatole Broyard. Each author has overcome or come to terms with illness, loss, or addiction, either within him/herself or concerning loved ones. In Night Rhythms, John T. Price makes peace with his brother's death by helping children hospitalized with cerebral palsy sleep through the night. In East of Everything, Megan Foss, a recovered heroin addict and former prostitute, gathers the strength to return to her old haunts. In Falling Into Life, as Leonard Kriegel grows weak in old age, he finds empowerment in the memories of his successful struggle with polio as a child. The riveting accounts of these experiences provide inspiration for all those in need of healing of any kind, whether physical or emotional.
