What might have been tragic through Alisons eyes finds wider perspective and resonance through Deas as she tolerates Alisons pathetic attempts at meditation and online dating, sees her through a second bout of cancer, and finally steers Alison toward appreciating lifes daily wonders that are a puppys birthright. Thanks to Deas training, Alison learns to finally trust herself in new and life-affirming ways, realizing that feeling safe is a conscious decision.
