I'm so sorry to hear of your problems Diana.
I have one suggestion. You can put Powell's Books (internet access) on the
"hunt" for you for out of print books and the search is out $2. They will
keep looking for quite a while. Check it out.

flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.
