A Trail of Breadcrumbs

A Poetic Memoir of Survival,

by Catherine Wilson

Healing, and Spiritual Growth Guide for Going Deeper,

by Lyndall Johnson MA, LP

Designed as a guide for inner awareness and healing, A Trail of Breadcrumbs - a Poetic Memoir of Survival, Healing and Spiritual Growth, is a unique pairing of poetic memoir and a psychologist’s insights. Catherine Wilson tells her story through poetry, prose, and song lyrics with uncompromising honesty and heart. Psychologist Lyndall Johnson provides a Guide for Going Deeper through insights and questions following each of Wilson’s pieces, offering guidance for the reader’s own inner inquiry. 

            The book sheds light on many aspects of Wilson’s life as the child of a mother with mental illness, as a mother and grandmother, and as a caretaker for her mother during her final years. Through the entire arc of the story, we experience Catherine’s desire to live in congruence with her true self, to deepen her relationship with the sacred, and to find comfort in the refuge that Nature provides. 

            Lyndall accompanies the reader every step of the way, offering tools they can use to illuminate the layers of these same themes and experiences in their own lives.


“In A Trail of Breadcrumbs we are being taken on a journey of transformation. Through her words as a poet and songwriter Catherine testifies to her personal path through the childhood nightmare of living with parental mental illness and its legacy. Lyndall tracks Catherine's every step, inviting us to look at our places of comfort and sanctuary. She invites us to look honestly at our own internalized inheritances. Through all the processes, both writers are clear that the goal is to be self-actualized as we grow into remembering and claiming the first and true identity for all of us as spiritual beings.”

Gloria Karpinski, author of Barefoot on Holy GroundWhere Two Worlds Touch, and Midnight Rainbows - a Memoir
