The Miracle of Death comes to us at a time when transformation is necessary for our survival. Every page of this testament to life loosens our grip on the imagination and opens us to dimensions of the mind that speak in images, metaphors and symbols. We emerge from these experiences surrounding death with an expanded view of life, a path more illuminated, and the courage to live by the wisdom of our visions. We adjust our senses to experience new ways of hearing, seeing and knowing what is real. We go inward on our own journeys to confront the mysteries of our existence, the mysteries of life and death, and we return knowing how to live our lives.Foreword by Anne Baring. Includes Index & Further Reading.
“Your reflections are so helpful for the journey! I honor how you are weaving your Peruvian wisdom with your grounding in your blood circle with the new daring strands into whole cloth of the present.” — Nelia Kimbrough “The power of words in action—it's poetry; it's song; it's music ... some of us haven't yet found the full freefall, living still with the bits and pieces. This helps us all find the paths we work to discover.” —Dawn Francis-Chewning “Simply the most beautiful thing I have ever read.” —Jeremy Richmond “So beautiful and real. Winn, thanks for your vulnerability that is cracking so many hearts open!” — Sage Linden “Thank you for taking me with you on that walk into the wonder of creation and slipping through ordinary perspective into a multifaceted lens.” —Sally Bicknell Miller “I think the word homework is totally appropriate, and it's all of our tasks! We can't truly be ‘home’ here or there without it!” —Joan Smythie Fowler Ray “You and your family have been such beautiful teachers for us all! Thank you for this most sacred lesson of life and the joy and beauty of the passing of it.” — Claudia Green

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today • As a young mother facing a terminal diagnosis, Julie Yip-Williams began to write her story, a story like no other. What began as the chronicle of an imminent and early death became something much more—a powerful exhortation to the living. “An exquisitely moving portrait of the daily stuff of life.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Time • Real Simple • Good Housekeeping That Julie Yip-Williams survived infancy was a miracle. Born blind in Vietnam, she narrowly escaped euthanasia at the hands of her grandmother, only to flee with her family the political upheaval of her country in the late 1970s. Loaded into a rickety boat with three hundred other refugees, Julie made it to Hong Kong and, ultimately, America, where a surgeon at UCLA gave her partial sight. She would go on to become a Harvard-educated lawyer, with a husband, a family, and a life she had once assumed would be impossible. Then, at age thirty-seven, with two little girls at home, Julie was diagnosed with terminal metastatic colon cancer, and a different journey began. The Unwinding of the Miracle is the story of a vigorous life refracted through the prism of imminent death. When she was first diagnosed, Julie Yip-Williams sought clarity and guidance through the experience and, finding none, began to write her way through it—a chronicle that grew beyond her imagining. Motherhood, marriage, the immigrant experience, ambition, love, wanderlust, tennis, fortune-tellers, grief, reincarnation, jealousy, comfort, pain, the marvel of the body in full rebellion—this book is as sprawling and majestic as the life it records. It is inspiring and instructive, delightful and shattering. It is a book of indelible moments, seared deep—an incomparable guide to living vividly by facing hard truths consciously. With humor, bracing honesty, and the cleansing power of well-deployed anger, Julie Yip-Williams set the stage for her lasting legacy and one final miracle: the story of her life. Praise for The Unwinding of the Miracle “Everything worth understanding and holding on to is in this book. . . . A miracle indeed.”—Kelly Corrigan, New York Times bestselling author “A beautifully written, moving, and compassionate chronicle that deserves to be read and absorbed widely.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies
