While Cook is best known for her portraiture, the images in this book represent her quiet contemplation of matter and essence. Many of the photographs were made in the last ten days of the artist's mother's life. Strikingly, most of those images are also light abstractions. Cook explains, "Light is what inspires me to make photographs and that is what I live for. Light represents life." Holding Hands is the only figurative image included in this book; it was the last time the artist and her mother held hands.
Cook works exclusively with a medium-format camera using black-and-white film and prints the photographs herself. Lifeline includes an introduction by the world-renowned poet Jorie Graham
