    About this audiobook

    "No longer indispensable, no longer assured of our old carefully crafted identities, no longer beautiful in the way we were at twenty or thirty or forty, we are hungry and searching nonetheless." From the author of The Gift of an Ordinary Day, this intimate memoir of loss, self-discovery, and growth will resonate deeply with any woman who has ever mourned the passage of time, questioned her own purpose, or wondered, "Do I have what it takes to create something new in my life?" With the candor and warmth that have endeared her to readers, Kenison reflects on the inevitable changes wrought by time: the death of a dear friend, children leaving home, recognition of her own physical vulnerability, and surprising shifts in her marriage. She finds solace in the notion that midlife is also a time of unprecedented opportunity for growth as old roles and responsibilities fall away, and unanticipated possibilities appear on the horizon. More a spiritual journey than a physical one, Kenison's beautifully crafted exploration begins and ends with a home, a life, a marriage. But this metamorphosis proves as demanding as any trek or pilgrimage to distant lands-it will guide and inspire every woman who finds herself asking "What now?"

      Magical JourneyAn Apprenticeship in Contentmentby Katrina KenisonI definitely feel that being given the chance to review this 269 page darling was an early birthday present God knew I needed so much. I loved everything about this read from the smooth easy poignant first person style of it right to the amazing coming of age story it told. Living in New England, having raised 5 kids and turning 60 very soon I identified with this blessed tale deeply and found myself on every page and at every turn saying I thought that, or wow, her too. I would recommend this fateful account of a life well lived to anyone looking for a signpost along their own spiritual journey. Thanks Katrina, from the bottom of my heart.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann

      this book is haunting in it's honesty as Katrina goes on a journey to reflect on her life and answer "what now?"

      I believe books come into your life when you need them, and that's what happened to me with this book. It spoke to me deeply. What I take away from this book is "chose love, not fear", and to believe in myself. To allow myself to just be.

      There is so much in this book that every reader will find something to identify with.

      Katrina wrote a beautiful, haunting, magical book.
