Tears of Fire: A Woman's Account of a Journey Through the Underworld  by Alumna Morgaine Hamouris Ph.D 

About this Story
This is a love story, although not in the conventional sense of romantic love. This book explores the transformative power of suffering in a revealing narrative informed by spiritual practice and what it takes to keep your heart open in hell even if it is of your own making. (Amazon excerpt)

From Morgaine ....
I lost my son in 1987. He was 18yrs. old.  My grief was complicated by another tragedy (the accidental death of my client. I was blamed for his death and the consequences were devastating.) I wrote my story so that I would never forget the transformative impact these two deaths had on my life. 

Quote: "When we long for God, for the ineffable, for the Beloved of our soul, all our relationships give us this opportunity to find God/Goddess in the other, and every relationship gives us a chance to open our hearts and with the opening, we open to the wounds that go along with love." 

Fascinating Fact: Morgaine was in the first graduating class of 1980 using the name Dorothy Hutcheon!
