For years, award-winning author Sue Monk Kidd recounted
the joys and sorrows of her life as a Christian in books and
essays that touched the hearts of readers everywhere. Then,
in the late 1980s, Kidd experienced an unexpected awakening,
one that brought her into conflict with every aspect of her
former life. She began a journey toward a feminine
spirituality.
"I was amazed to find that I had no
idea how to unfold my spiritual life in a feminine way,"
says Kidd. "I was surprised, and, in fact, a little
terrified, when I found myself in the middle of a feminist
spiritual awakening."
With the exceptional
storytelling skills that have helped make her name, Kidd
tells her very personal tale of the fear, anger, healing,
and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness
that women have lost within the patriarchal faith
traditions.
From a jarring encounter with sexism in
a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals
in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of eminine
spiritual consciousness for all women -- one that retains a
meaningful connection with "the deep song of Christianity,"
embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and
has the power to transform in the most positive ways every
fundamental relationship in a woman's life -- her marriage,
her career, and her religion.
