As she healed, new love beckoned-and at long last Roberta found that intrinsic sense of self, that unshakable foundation of heart and soul, that home, that she’d been searching for all along. Her grief over Nancy’s death, and the psychic and out-of-body events she experienced following that loss, led to an eight-year spiritual quest where she explored her Jewish roots, the Kabbalah, Buddhism, and reincarnation. only to lose her abruptly just one year later. Roberta soon found love again, with a woman named Nancy. As she cleared land, hammered nails, lifted beams, and shivered in her rented mobile home, the answers began to come to her.
