Frazer's series which attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king. Frazer proposed that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought.

What began as a memoir of a friend's journey through a thirty-month battle with brain cancer became the blueprint of the author's personal transformation.As the author wrote in the book's prologue, "How do I capture the reality of (my friend's) impending death yet celebrate the life that bloomed in the quickly changing terrain of her terminal illness? I value the splinter wedged in my heart that compelled me to go places I would not willingly choose. It is part of the artistic beauty residing in each of us, and sometimes this art emerges through intense pressure and heat, not unlike what wood undergoes in the hands of a master carver."
