The Sacred Way of the Medicine Woman is a refreshing look at spiritual transformation as told through the fictional tales of three Jenny, Lori, and Melissa. Jenny is at the end of her rope, running emotionally on empty and has just tried to kill herself. Lori is a fifty-one-year-old alcoholic who has been in one treatment program after another. Lori's alcoholism has just cost her her job as a housekeeper in a Key West bed and breakfast - hardly the job for which her college education prepared her. Melissa is a soul deeply locked in grief after the death of her daughter a year before. Melissa's marriage is in serious jeopardy because she and her husband can't move past blaming each other for their daughter's death, and move into the business of comforting each other and building a life without their daughter.
