This 5 song EP is a collection of stories from the season of life when my third child was born. She was diagnosed with a very rare disease. This provocative EP is both weighty and groovy. It ranges from tender to sarcastic and is an intimate portrait of my experience in the hospital, ICUs, and dealing with the mysteries of life-and-death situations. I hope they are stories of light in the darkness. The cover art was brilliantly done by cartoonist, Liana Finck, capturing the essence of a mother and child in the spotlight: often unwanted spotlight, but a light in the dark, nonetheless.
