In this inspiring book an extraordinary journalist tells the story of her spiritual coming-of-age, speaking with candor of the pain and triumph at the core of the female religious experience. Married young and unknowingly to an underworld figure, Lynne Bundesen fled with the children and began a journey that would take her to war-torn Cambodia, China, Israel, and Europe, as well as deep within her own heart and soul. It also chronicles her search for meaning and wholeness and her unexpected discovery of the inspiration and power she found through the women of the Bible.
