A MIDLIFE QUEST FOR THE GRAIL AND THE GODDESS
Dr Jean Shinoda Bolen's extraordinary memoir celebrates the pilgrimage that heralded her spiritual awakening and leads readers down the path of self-discovery. In this account of her journey to Europe in search of the sacred feminine, she unveils the mythological significance of the midlife search for meaning and renewal.
"[Bolen] charts a path that will lead many readers to the heart of their own emotional and spiritual pilgrimages."

ALICE WALKER, author of 'The Color Purple'"In 'Crossing to Avalon', Jean Shinoda Bolen turns her acute and brilliant eye toward the interconnectedness of women's mysteries, sacredness of the body, the effect of pilgrimage on soul, and deep feminine friendships."
