In this triumphant memoir, Denise speaks with a compassionate yet fiery conviction born of deep pain, as she describes overcoming an abusive childhood and the terror of being struck down by a gunman’s bullet.

With deep insight, she shares her consequent revelations beyond death’s door. From the mundane to the mystical, follow Denise’s inner and outer journeys as she grows up in disparate places – from an abandoned Army barracks, to the slums of Chicago, to an Ohio farming community, to a Midwestern historical house.
Travel with her as she’s fired upon by a plane in Yugoslavia, teargassed during antiwar riots, delves into the political and sexual revolution of the ’60s, lives in a Buddhist monastery, and explores native cultures to become one of the world’s most sought-after speakers and a best-selling author.
Thousands of people worldwide have attended her lectures . . . and now, for the first time, they – and you – can read the fascinating story behind this internationally renowned woman.
