Summary of Without Trace
What happens when grief crosses oceans? When the land of your childhood becomes a memory, and loss arrives through a phone call thousands of miles away?
Without Trace chronicles a poet's journey through unimaginable sorrow losing two beloved sisters to cancer within six months—while living between two starkly different worlds. Icelandic volcanoes and heather-covered valleys collide with Australian deserts and unfamiliar heat. Through it all, Stefanía weaves a tapestry of remembrance where nine siblings play in dreamscapes, angels leave prints in snow, and poems themselves become "fireflies illuminated by their own light."
This isn't just a book about death. It's about how we carry those we love across impossible distances, how landscapes hold our stories, and how the soul finds its way home even when the body cannot. Raw, spiritual, and achingly beautiful—each poem is a portal between worlds, between loss and light, between the visible and the eternal.
"The Infinite Memory doesn't fade—thousands of years and nothing has changed nor been forgotten."
— Stefanía Guðbjörg Gísladóttir
"I see you pale in a white hospital bed... I silently pray: don't stumble, glide lightly and fearlessly into the starlit night."
— Stefanía Guðbjörg Gísladóttir
