Story
That Julie Yip-Williams survived infancy was a miracle. Then, at age 37, with two little girls at home, Julie was diagnosed with terminal metastatic colon cancer, and a different journey began. The Unwinding of the Miracle is the story of a vigorous life refracted through the prism of imminent death. When she was first diagnosed, Julie Yip-Williams sought clarity and guidance through the experience and, finding none, began to write her way through it - a chronicle that grew beyond her imagining.

Death is mandatory. Living is optional

Julie couldn't be more different than I on the exterior. We are however very similar on life philosophy on many aspects of the miracle that is life. Because of that, this book touched me profoundly. I look forward to my adventures in Antarctica. I look forward to spending daily walks with my dogs. In other words, I am more cognizant that death is mandatory, life is optional.
Read this book. Be present every day. Travel. Be brave. Seek out adventures. Appreciate the loved ones in your life.

Story
Robert Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey has been the standard translation for more than three generations of students and poets. Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish the first ever audio edition of this classic work, the greatest of all epic poems. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited for audio, recounting the story of Odysseus' long journey back to his wife and home after the Trojan War. Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger reaches the English-language listener in all its glory.
