Sue Monk Kidd was a "conventionally religious, churchgoing woman, a traditional wife & mother" with a thriving career as a Christian writer until she began to question her role as a woman in her culture, her family, and her church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore to monastery retreats and rituals in the caves of Crete, Kidd takes readers through the fear, anger, healing, and transformation of her awakening. Retaining a meaningful connection "with the deep song of Christianity", she opens the door for traditional Christian women to discover spirituality that speaks directly to them and provides inspiring wisdon for all who struggle to embrace their full humanity.
