This is the story of a woman's radical spiritual quest, filled with honesty, courage, vulnerability, and power. Pamela Prime describes her journey from a rigid religious mindset to an open-hearted spirituality, through the experience of four major upheavals in her life: the deaths of two children (one to SIDS, one to suicide), her divorce after 23 years of marriage, and her shocked realization of the repression of the feminine. These cataclysmic events propelled her into a searching and fearless spiritual quest, plumbing the depths of her pain. There she discovered a secret so powerful it has helped her become the joyful, contented being she now is. "It is the awareness that no matter what happens, if I am willing to feel into the depths of my being, any experience can wake me up and take me more fully to love." Written as a compelling memoir, each chapter includes reflection questions so that readers can use the experience of reading the book to examine their own lives, and faith.
