Kathy Hettinga: "In the book modern day enemies – such as cancer and others unnamed – swarm like bees, yet are consumed as burning thorns. The book contains digital images of my own cancer cells, and vector illustrated bees. ... The book begins at the beehive in Christ in the Desert (NM) with Sister Benedicta using her scapular to chase bees from my hair."
