The Dance of the Dissident Daughter (2016)
““My hope is that the book will be an opening for you . . . that something in these pages will make a tiny explosion in your heart and that you will see the things you’ve hungered for all along as a woman.” What is it about Dance that agitates or creates a need and desire for change?
I believe what sparks passion is that the book is introducing readers to the lost history of the sacred feminine and to the jolting idea that God can be visualized in feminine ways. The first time you really get tha...t, it turns your world upside down. You rarely see a lukewarm reaction to it. The book is also pointing women home, to a lost place in their own soul. That may be part of it, too. Whatever it is, it has been moving for me to see readers respond like they have. At book signing events for my novels, The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid Chair, there were always women who showed up, clutching The Dance of the Dissident Daughter. Sometimes they would break into tears when they asked me to sign it.MoreLess
