As she coped with this trauma, Edna continued loving her unconditionally, as she always had.In her adult years Edna lived a life of dignity in a spiritual community, becoming a model for how Susan could live hers. In her forties, Susan realized her dream of motherhood when she adopted a daughter. Throughout, Edna remained a teacher and loving presence in her sisters life.Encompassing Susan and Ednas lifelong, complex, intertwining relationship, Ednas Gift has a powerful message: life may be unpredictable, even traumaticbut if you remain open, strength and wisdom will come to you from surprising and unexpected sources.
