Left Early, Arrived Late

This title creates an unconventional biography about the unconventional Marcia Muth, Memory Painter. Author Jones is influenced heavily by the "acorn theory" of James Hillman in which a soul-companion, a daimon, is the carrier of one's destiny; many segments of the book are introduced by passages from Hillman's works and Jones maintains that Muth is accompanied by her daimon in her process of becoming who she was and is.
