Amazon.com description: Product Description: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
In this exquisite book of personal reflections on a womanâs life as a child, wife, and mother, Kathryn Harrison, âa writer of extraordinary giftsâ (Tobias Wolff), recalls episodes in her life, exploring how the experiences of childhood recur in memory, to be transformed and sometimes healed through the lives we lead as adults. At the heart of Seeking Rapture is the notion that a womanâs journey is a continuous process of transformation, an ongoing transcendence and re-creation of self.
