The outcome of a mans tragedy is that lines of communication open up and levels of interaction deepen so that improved relationships are stimulated. The Purple Envelope is about a family with some main characters in a way, quite ordinary. As in anyones story, this one has some extraordinary moments.
In the sense that everyones life is a story, this story is taken from one year of one mans life – and the lives of people around him.
It is a story of love and how it plays its tune in this young mans life. Is it true? Oh yes, and as such has unbelievable moments. The writer welcomes you, the reader, to her world. Youll first meet her in England away from cities where its beauty can be called gentle but where life happens in ways that you will recognize wherever you may be. Youll leave England with her as the events of the story take her to South Africa.
Its in these two lands that this story is told. What happens in peoples lives alongside a case of cancer? Chemotherapy deals with the tumor, and Vivien Jones tells what else goes on. What happens when tragedy strikes?
Because its about people interacting with others, its a story about that which makes the world go round
Its not what happens, but the response to what happens, that makes the story.
Ignis intra… the fire within
Cancer, the cruel C.. and hope.
Circa l’autore
Vivien Jones was born in Bristol, England and from teaching in East Anglia she moved, with her husband, to South Africa. Her experiences there were with cerebral palsied adults and in counseling. Many of those years were spent as a housewife, but later on, marketing, photography and conservation supported her life both in South Africa and England.
It’s in these two lands that this story is told. What happens in people’s lives alongside a case of cancer? Chemotherapy deals with the tumor, and Vivien Jones tells what else goes on.
Vivien’s varied life equips her to tell of a range of responses that are evoked when the cards that are dealt are tough. Cancer was new to her when it came uninvited into her family. To add to what the professionals were doing, she delved into other aspects of recovery, learning of medical procedures and nutritional needs and much more that would support healing and stimulate full recovery.
Vivien has three children and four grandchildren and if you ask her about herself, that’s what she will begin by telling you.
