"We are all fellow travelers on a life's journey that features many ordinary transitions and extrodinary catastrophies. This delightful book about everyday heros who find a way through life's struggles and whose experiences will provide you with guideposts to negotiate your own journey."

"Beverlee Zell-Tamis takes a close look at those times when joy of our lives has seemed to vanish. She reminds us the the "Music" we seek comes from a deep inner source beyond the limits of our own egos. Through the experiences she shares -- both her own and ten creative people she interviews -- we learn that we are not alone. Others, too, have times when they feel that their lives have lost purpose and meaning and that it is then that the music stops. She makes a real contribution by helping us recognize what stops the music and what we can do to hear it again."
