Book information
Description
Dawn Downey chronicles a spiritual journey that leads her from revelations at a Buddhist monastery to transcendence at a Baptist church. En route, she uncovers the cause of her life-long depression: childhood abuse. Mysticism, meditation, and the muck of daily living. Downey finds peace in all of it. "... authentic and wry ... an honest conversation about how a spiritual life really manifests in the day-to-day world. ... Bravo for this enchanting new voice in the pantheon of spiritual writing."—Brenda Miller, author of The Pen and the Bell: Mindful Writing in a Busy World "Dawn Downey writes candidly about the workings of her mind, which are the unspeakable workings of ours, too. ... Her writing is pure Zen."––Cheryl Wilfong, author of The Meditative Gardener: Cultivating Mindfulness of Body, Feelings, and Mind "Revel in Downey's imaginative outlook on life and ponder her hard-won truths. ... honest insights ... wicked and ready sense of humor ...."––Deborah Shouse, author of Love in the Land of Dementia: Finding Hope in the Caregiver's Journey
