In this compelling piece, Constance combines a journalist's power of observation with a poet's use of language-and her own light heart-to skillfully create characters and situations dealing with tough end of life issues. A standing ovation for Constance for this script, and for her use of theatre as a forum to stimulate conversations on a challenging topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e -Liz Fentress\u003c\/strong\u003e, playwright\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCancer. A simple word that echoed through my bones like an earthquake. And then the aftershock-I have no insurance. Through surgery and chemo, the bills piling up, at times I felt so lost. But not alone. When I think back to that time, a line from \u003cem\u003eThe Way Home\u003c\/em\u003e shines like a beacon-\u003cem\u003eThere are people along the way who say, \"Come this way. There are ways through all this.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstance Alexander\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of those people along the way. Her spoken word opera is a gift to be performed not only by professional actors, but by friends reaching out to friends, by strangers reaching out to strangers, by communities reaching out to reassure, to comfort, to guide us all home. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e -Judy Sizemore\u003c\/strong\u003e, Survivor and Poet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4029255\"\u003eConstance Alexander\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.11d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646623457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646623452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finishing Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563233538285,"sku":"9781646623457","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1f0fbdb4-cbe1-4e31-9329-844bd63f1658.jpg?v=1701841468","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-way-home-a-spoken-word-opera-9781646623457","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
