A mid-career realization that she had lived without ""real inner authority"" and with ""a fear of dissension, confrontation, backlash, a fear of not pleasing, not living up to sanctioned models of femininity"" produced in Kidd the new mindset that made her journey possible. Kidd's successful pilgrimage from her Southern Baptist roots and away from the patriarchal and fundamentalist Christian religious systems surrounding her is an account of anger turned to courage, creativity and love. The author's journey to capture her feminine soul and to live authentically from that soul makes a fascinating, well-researched and well-written story.
