Recovering: A Journal

May Sarton's sixty-sixth year, 1978-79, was a difficult time: a cherished relationship came to an end, she had a mastectomy, she fought against depression. How her friendships, her love of the natural world, and her growing audience of readers brought her back is this journal's story. "Sarton's 'art of making exquisite distinctions' and her vulnerability as a human being are her timeless gifts to her readers". -- Library Journal
