"An altogether original and remarkable book." Provident Book Finder

For any woman caught in a social, sexual, or spiritual struggle, Marjory Bankson's exploration of Queen Esther's story offers a model of healing to integrate the fragmented streams of life. Weaving together the biblical story of Esther, stories of contemporary women, and her own story, Marjory Bankson presents an intriguing pattern of women's development and a paradigm of wholeness for women. In 11 chapters, each with journaling questions for reflection and discussion, she invites women to tell their stories, honor their experiences, claim their bodies, and celebrate a woman's way of growing and creating.
