Her poignantly lyrical words take the reader on a journey through life, and one experiences a myriad of emotions along the way. Beauty and Truth touches on the feelings that we all experience at any stage of our lives, and examines them in fluid form. Starting with the eponymous title, Marcia Lake explains her philosophy of the world around us and then extends that train of thought, touching on her connection to her spiritual side, with Angels. Then, she takes us seamlessly in the Light. Pausing to give acknowledgement for Friendship past and present, the author then sails lucidly through the states of Dreams and Celebration. Wonder is a poignant theme, whereas Health portrays the immense personal journey that Marcia has been on, which is chronicled in her first book, Grace. The final three themes encapsulate life's harmony and tell us how Mystery can unfold into a new Wisdom, culminating in Romance: a coming of age and an immersion into ones own destiny. Beauty and Truth is for poetry lovers of all ages: those who are seasoned enthusiasts and those new to the genre.

When Marcia finds coping with day-to-day life hard, she slips into another reality - one where Bono confides in her and Morrissey gives her advice. Her one saving grace is her deep belief that she will get better... and her unabiding love of life. Marcia also finds that prayer, meditation and her faith in Angels pulls her through when the times are tough.Grace really breaks down barriers and educates the reader as to what mental illness is and what those that suffer with it are going through. It does not sugar coat but tells the story from the point of view of a young, modern lady and her family; describing how they all cope with Marcia's diagnosis. Marcia eventually changed from patient to healer - her qualification in Reflexology is her pride and joy -she is now living a completely normal life, far away from hospitals and wards. She also composes music to great acclaim, records CDs and plays packed clubs. Marcia is now treated as an equal by all those who meet her - she shows that despite any diagnosis, one can live a full, rich and integrated life - all it takes is faith, hope and friendship... oh, and a cat called Indy.
