Miriam Luby Wolfe had everything to live for. As a junior at Syracuse University, she was spending her fall semester in London exploring her many talents: singing, dancing, acting, directing, and writing. But she never made it home. On Dec. 21, 1988, her plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 259 aboard and 11 residents on the ground--all victims of a terrorist bomb.

When the Scottish police miraculously returned Miriam's personal effects to her mother, Rosemary Mild discovered new dimensions to her only child: a writer/scholar/activist with the heart and insight of a philosopher.

Rosemary takes the reader on a journey from the intense grief of a mother's loss to the renewed courage inspired by Miriam's legacy of love, humor, and idealism.
