A MIDLIFE QUEST FOR THE GRAIL AND THE GODDESS
Dr Jean Shinoda Bolen's extraordinary memoir celebrates the pilgrimage that heralded her spiritual awakening and leads readers down the path of self-discovery. In this account of her journey to Europe in search of the sacred feminine, she unveils the mythological significance of the midlife search for meaning and renewal.
"[Bolen] charts a path that will lead many readers to the heart of their own emotional and spiritual pilgrimages."
