pickThis is an old friend from early adolescence and my first journeys into King Arthur/Celtic mythic fiction. Re-reading it now, years later, the writing is er…. Dense. Really dense. But, somewhat like Tolkien, very worth the magic of the journey. A unique telling of magic and what it means to be “good.”

“This book gives strong,sterling, and unvarnished evidence that everything—everything— we ourselves become will affect what women after us may also become.For their sakes,take heart from this great woman, learn from her, be strengthened by her, and live life in such away yourself that makes a difference for those will come after you.This is a truly marvelous,useful,profound, and creative book.—Joan Chittister, OSB
