"We live in a traumatic age. Or, perhaps, we should say that trauma appears fundamental to human existence. Over the past few years, especially, we have become more at ease talking about the traumas that impact, affect, and transform us.There is a large and growing literature on trauma all of which demand from readers a measure of emotional and psychological strength. A Perfect Offering brings to readers a variety of deeply personal narratives about traumatic and transformational events.The stories and images collected here include accounts of childhood and adult cancer, surviving terrorist attack, living with the legacy of Residential schools,losing a parent in a plane crash, coping with severe PTSD, living as a blind person in a world built for the sighted, facing the immanent death of a child, finding your way as a trans woman, recording images of war and its victims, surviving sexual assault, and others."--Publisher.
