Saliba locates healing firmly in the revision of writing, in the talk of spectators after an Indonesian shadow play, in the reading and rereading of a suffering woman's secrets, and in the sharing of those secrets with her children, who have never known their mother's history. Saliba's case study involves an Asian woman who suffers from, among other things, severe arthritis and agoraphobia.
