Wisdom from the Earth
The Lost Legends of the Aboriginal Dreamtime
Anna Voigt
$29.95
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Zora Neale Hurston
Zora Neale Hurston was not only a brilliant woman ahead of her time, but a wonderful and lucid writer and storyteller.
I read this beautiful story at age seventeen and it remains one of my favorites today.
The Alchemist
A Fable About Following Your Dream
Paulo Coelho
$10.40
This is one of those books that you hear about over and over again and then finally one day for no particular reason a copy just
comes your way...arriving at exactly the moment that you needed to hear its message. This spiritual adventure is one that
no one should miss. Buy a copy for yourself, or even better, for someone you love.
The Red Tent
Anita Diamant
$10.47
This book circulated among many of the women that I know when it was published. I myself have bought three copies and
ended up giving them each away. Set in the time of the biblical mothers, Anita Diamant reinterprets a small passage in the
bible that speaks of the rape of and subsequent revenge for Dina. This is a story of coming of age, the solidarity of
communities of women and the importance of feminine traditions and the female experience. I recommend you buy a copy,
read it and then pass it on to an important woman in your life.
Prodigal Summer
Barbara Kingsolver
$11.20
This is a story of solitude, grief, new love, coyotes, hope, aging, and renewal set in the mountains of Virginia.
Barbara Kinsolver's books are always intuitive and insightful and her storytelling is woven with compelling magic. A great book to
to read when you're looking for a story to get lost in. I recommend purchasing Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" (see the Science
section) to read along with it as this story has a beautiful theme of nature and environmental preservation.
The Poisonwood Bible
Barbara Kingsolver
$10.50
This time Kingsolver takes us to Africa with the family of a baptist missionary. This story, told through the varying
opinions and impressions of the family's four daughters is in the usual Kingsolver style. A lucid, heart-wrenching, 'laugh
out loud' story that you simply will not be able to put down.
