While not exactly what I expected, this book was very enlightening. It was nice to see Kidd's change from obvious discomfort in one set of beliefs to being able to speak openly and in an educated manner about another. Perhaps I enjoy her story due to the fact that I can relate to her feelings quite easily. Often the situations she discussed were ones that I had experienced myself. I also enjoyed the fact that while certain belief systems are not for her, she does not discredit or stomp all over them as is often the case when someone declares a path. I completely agree with the idea that spirituality is an ever-changing and life-long journey. Overall it was an enjoyable read that I am glad I picked up on a whim.   hide
