The sequel to Goddesses in Everywoman highlights life-affirming archetypes for women over fifty that emphasize such key principles as wisdom, humor, compassion, decisive action, and more.

Above the Fire by Michael O'Donnell
Laboring under a shared loss, Doug and his young son, Tim, set
out on a late- season backpacking trip through the White Mountains of New
Hampshire. They find beauty and solidarity in the outdoors, making friends
along the trail and falling into the rhythms of an expedition. But when reports
of warfare and social collapse reach the ranger station, Doug--seeking to protect the only family he
has left--withdraws even further into the backcountry.
It's a
very interesting story – I highly recommend it. – WJ
