In Western cultures, the central image of the spiritual quest
for selfhood is that of the mythic, male, hero. A male hero,
however, represents the quest for selfhood incompletely and
awkwardly for women. In this provocative work, Kathryn Rabuzzi
focuses on a different image that of the mother. For women seeking
spiritual fulfillment of self, Rabuzzi points out the way of the
mother, replacing the androcentric myths of the West with
gynocentric myths based on the archetypal model of the Goddess.
In contrast to the selfhood for which the hero quests,
"motherself" is the name for what women achieve when they follow
the way of the mother. Rabuzzi defines that way with imagination
and lucidity; her work provides an invaluable guide to all women
struggling to articulate their religious experience in new
terms."
At the time she accepted Thomas's proposal Beth thought they'd be
together forever. Then the Falklands War stole him away and she
struggled to continue with her life. When young Ryan arrives from
Australia he brings with him a strangely delightful yet painful
echo of Thomas. In fact Ryan's truth puts Beth in danger in a way
she could never have imagined. But could it also bring her back to
life?
