In the search for her truth, Sally Dukes takes the reader on a difficult yet compelling pursuit, the unfolding of life into death and back again. Plagued by near death, drummer girl's experience at the edge propelled her to seek understanding, to look for words when there were none, and to find solace through life's many turns.

Drummer girl gives language to an archetypal unfolding; it makes practical the passing from this life. By taking the fear out of death and shedding light on the nuances experienced in daily life, drummer girl awakens the soul and spirit of those who fear the dark. Heartwarming and honest, this book can give those facing death at any stage of life comfort in knowing what lies beyond the veil.

Death does not come cloaked in darkness.

Death is light. Death is love.

Death is the wholeness of the return.
