This work was an Ithaca Finalist in 2009. It also received a C7Prize in 2014 as a Recommended Work. It is an appropriate work for most any season, but is inspired by two dear friends of the composer who are breast cancer survivors. The text is uplifting for those who have battled and won over difficult moments and challenges in their lives.
