"Out of sudden and profound loss, Axelrod has drawn a haunting, tender memoir that grips like an emotional thriller. The Point of Vanishing is raw, exquisitely written, and full of poetic insights. This is a big book about big truths that matter to us all. It delivers a message of hope and strength, and reveals what is most human in our most unspoken yearning for something real, something true."
--Bella Pollen, author of The Summer of the Bear (Atlantic Monthly Press, 2011)
"Deeply alive and exciting and nuanced, a story of injury and years alone in the woods, The Point of Vanishing is all about what it means to see, and how we might ask ourselves to see differently--to live differently in our own bodies, and in the world...Powerful and ineffable, it feels like a blessing."
--Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams
