When Women Were Birds - by Terry Tempest Williams (Paperback)

When Women Were Birds is a deeply personal and meditative exploration of the author's mother's journals, which were left blank upon her death.

Through 54 chapters that unfold like yoga poses, Williams delves into the mystery of her mother's absence and the power of women's voices in our world.

This book is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope that keeps turning around the question: What does it mean to have a voice? With stunning prose and profound insight, When Women Were Birds is a lyrical and timeless book that rewards quiet, attentive reading and will leave readers with a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
