RIPENING (SEPTEMBER PUBLISHING) (HB)

Long before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories told us everything that women need to learn about the world. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they insist that their heroines face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources. More than anything, fairy tales are soul-food. They show us how to take hold of our own personal narratives and transform them into stories that might begin with trauma, but end with empowerment.
