Soul Provider: Conversations with My Cat

Winner of the 2014 Nautilus Book Award. Jody presents an extraordinary visual and honest account of her experience with loss, filled with inspiration from someone who forged it for herself. Soul Provider showcases 20 paintings of her cat's face (her catalyst for healing) along with references to her personal journal as she struggled to survive both physically and emotionally from stage-three breast cancer. The book has been described as "both simple and deep; delightful and desperate; clever and beautiful; inviting the reader to share a dynamic tug-of-war between courage and surrender."
