Product Description
by Ellen Woods (Author)
In her debut memoir, Ellen Woods draws the reader into her progression from an inquisitive Indiana girlhood to the aches and astonishments of adulthood in Berkeley. Through twenty-eight stories, readers are introduced to memorable characters-family, friends, teachers and strangers woven into her life, often with unexpected circumstances. Readers are pulled into the depths of the present moment, and find themselves sharing the author's spiritual and political context. As Woods traces the importance of her meditation practice, we see how silence soothes her and faith emerges through life's stunning transitions. With the cautious wisdom of almost seven decades, she focuses on integrating events of the past and redeeming lost connections. Warriors in Transition is incisive, provocative and astute, unflinchingly honest in its revelation of a personal journey rooted in social realities of times past and present.
