How do we learn to live when the end of our time is in sight?
This is the question at the heart of The Thief and the Gift, which documents journey of a man living with a degenerative illness. Inspiring, uplifting, and deeply empathetic, The Thief and the Gift is a story we know well, but don't often tell. Following an unnamed protagonist throughout his final years of life as a degenerative illness slowly robs him of the way of living he once knew, The Thief and the Gift intimately narrates what one really experiences when their time is coming to an end. Introducing profound questions about life's efficacy, the nature of suffering, and what it means to have a life well-lived, The Thief and the Gift suggests that there is still plenty of work to do on oneself even at the end.

So many themes are subtly presented and explored in the book and so many beautiful metaphors are offered to help the reader in understanding the experience of his illness in a poignant and helpful way. The journey of psychological healing is described perfectly, as Dr. Wagner describes the connections with past and present events, helping the protagonist achieve inner cohesion and growth. The descriptions are wonderful in assisting people to understand the benefits of psychotherapy when encountering such debilitating, long term diseases." - Tamara Sofair-Fisch , psychologist

I worked with Dr. Wagner in her private practice at the beginning of my career. Working under Dr. Wagner was one of the best things I did as a budding therapist. Dr. Wagner is calm, direct, knowledgeable and is able to guide all her patients to better themselves. She engages every patient with empathy, understanding, utilizing her extensive background and education. - Katie Gately, LPC, BCBA
