Joan is regularly praised for her ability to explore, articulate, and evoke emotions and new thoughts in her readers.
Life with an Impossible Person; A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Transformation, takes the reader through and beyond the death of a beloved husband, friend, lover, and fellow spiritual seeker. It follows the struggle to live through loss, to find a way spiritually without religion, a conscious stumbling toward meaning.
“Heiman’s wordcraft elevates her memoir to poetry … with both deep tenderness and heartbreaking honesty. She raises valuable questions about the choices we all make along the hard road of loving another human being.” —Regina Sara Ryan, author of Women Challenge the Lie and Igniting the Inner Life.
“Beautifully expressed work of the heart. Joan bares her love, her soul, her vulnerability, and her heartbreak in telling this transparent, moving love story. I picked it up and read the first 17 chapters without putting it down. The next day, I finished the book. An authentic love story of the ‘other’ and the ‘self.’ A transformative journey of loss, grief, and integration.” (Amazon comment)
“Couldn’t put it down, and bought copies for friends so we could discuss it. Joan takes us on their search for Nirvana…fascinating, touching, and at times exhausting. A compelling love story, so beautifully written we can’t wait for more from this talented writer.” (Amazon comment)
