Kirkus Review: http://www.kirkusreviews.com/author/barbara-wolf-terao/ “Stirringly inspirational…The memoir’s power is in its message that suffering ‘carves out space’ in our hearts ‘for more compassion,’ and illness provides an opportunity for us to discover our better selves.”

“Reconfigured is a deeply moving and absorbing chronicle of Barbara Wolf Terao’s cancer journey, but, even more, her path to find wholeness, home, and her authentic self. This beautifully written book reminds us all to listen to and trust not just ourselves, but also the universe.” ~Donna Cameron, author of A Year of Living Kindly: Choices That Will Change Your Life and the World Around You
“Barbara Wolf Terao has written a beautiful account of her journey with marriage, motherhood, cancer, and finding her own place in the world. Those familiar with Whidbey will appreciate the lovely sketches of life on our beloved island. Those who have experienced the support of Healing Circles Langley or Healing Circles Global will appreciate her personal examples of what Healing Circles can mean. Those who have sustained or hope to sustain long-term relationships will be grateful for the honesty about what they entail.” ~Michael Lerner, president and co-founder of Commonweal, co-founder of Healing Circles Langley and Healing Circles Global, Commonweal cancer help program, and cancerchoices.org
“In her memoir of seeking and finding, Barbara Wolf Terao invites readers into her circle of friends, family members, doctors, nurses, ferry boat personnel and shoe salesmen. It’s a big, beautiful circle on Whidbey Island and one I did not want to leave. She approaches all her challenges with wit, grit and a belief in nature and spirit that inspires and warms. One of the many strengths of this book—and its author—is that Terao never asks ‘Why me?’ but instead, ‘What’s next?’” ~Sharon Fiffer is the author of Imagining America and the Jane Wheel mysteries. She is also co-editor of the memoir collections, Home: American Writers Remember Rooms of Their Own; Family: American Writers Remember Their Own; and Body.
