Book excerpt: My Skin Doesn't Fit my Soul, a pathway inwards in order to deal with the world outside; more of a journey than a destination, more questions than answers. Some hope, fear, love, loss, even borderline hate. A taste of the absurd, an exploit of normalcy, a cry for help, an admiration for animals. In a world of bits and pieces, Susan Joyner-Stumpf confronts the chaos in order to find the wholeness she knows lies deep within the crevices of Earth, and humanity.
