Kenis Wilber is an American philosopher and writer on transpersonal psychology who has developed his own 'integral theory', a philosophy which suggests a framing or categorization of all human knowledge and experience. In 1983, Wilber married Terry "Treya" Killam who was shortly thereafter diagnosed with breast cancer. Wilber gave up his career work to care for her. Treya died in January 1989; their joint experience was recorded in this compelling narrative of their five-year journey through marriage, illness, and, finally, Treya's death. Ken's brilliant and wide-ranging commentary is combined with Treya's journals to create an inspiring portrait of healing, suffering, wholeness and harmony. ; 422 pages; Signed by Author; Not Inscribed or Signed by Author. .
