Opis

In this inspiring, exquisitely written, and bravely honest memoir an artist's search for truth, self, and home begins in a shy and imaginative childhood dominated by a family's legacy of religious healing. Her often serendipitous and synchronistic journey includes thirty-four moves, a teaching career, art school, seminary, marriage, miscarriage, motherhood, depression, unemployment, financial challenge, divorce, re-marriage, a near fatal car accident, death of family and friends, and ultimate joy beyond adversity. Her questing spirituality, awakening intellect, friendship with books, and discovery of women's studies encourage her ever-evolving creative path, leading to confident exuberant expression, love, and spiritual contentment rooted in hiraeth-an ancient Welsh word signifying the yearning for home in its deepest of meanings. Any spiritual seeker, lover of books, or student of women's studies will find the author's story compelling and her bibliography a rich resource.
