The Secret Life of Bees author's highly appreciated spiritual memoir.
To my surprise, I realized that I had no notion how to develop my spiritual life in a manner that was feminine. I was taken aback and even afraid to discover that I was smack dab in the thick of a feminist spiritual awakening.
A successful Christian writer, Sue Monk was a "conventionally religious, churchgoing woman, a traditional wife and mother" until she started to doubt her place as a woman in her society, her family, and her church. Kidd takes readers on a journey through the fear, fury, healing, and change of her awakening, starting with a startling brush with sexism in a suburban pharmacy and ending with monastic retreats and rituals in the caves of Crete. Maintaining a strong connection "with the deep song of Christianity," she makes it possible for conventional Christian women to find a spirituality that resonates with them and offers motivational guidance to anybody who finds it difficult to accept their true selves.
