  Mourning is an intensely personal and private experience, and yet, ironically, those of us who live all end up engaging with and enduring it, eventually, and often in public. By walking us along her individual journey, Karima reveals those places in the path where uncounted feet have travelled, and where uncounted more will tread, discovering the uncommonly shared truths obscured behind the incredibly and achingly personal ones. The result is, indeed, one of life’s hidden treasures, and well worth finding.

  ‘From the very beginning, I thought, Who is this man?’
  Once in a long while, if we are fortunate, we meet a person who changes our course, our life, changes us. Sometimes the recognition is immediate – as it was for Karima in her first encounter with David. Finding out who he was and what he meant to her is part of the deep love story of Hidden Treasure.
  But what happens when that life-changing person leaves us? What if the leaving is even more overwhelming than the meeting? What if all those well-intentioned books on grief seem puny, shallow, and ridiculous in the face of this loss?
  Hidden Treasure is a memoir of love, exploration, expansion, and loss – a loss which would in its own pain-filled way be as expansive and world-changing as the first dancing encounter.
  Rich in reflection, and beautifully and bravely written, Hidden Treasure is about a heart open – and opening - to love and all the possibilities of the Otherworld. ‘The act of sitting and waiting at a doorway offers a great teaching.’
