Summary of Sue Monk Kidd's When the Heart Waits - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had been lost in a crisis of spirit for some months. I had woken up to a growing darkness and cacophony, as if something in me was crying out. A chorus of voices. Orphaned voices. They seemed to speak for all the unlived parts of me. #2 I was having a midlife crisis, and I didn't know what was happening to me.
I was feeling lost and empty, and I didn't know what to do. I had never experienced anything like this before. #3 I had been drawing a tent in the middle of some wind- howling woods. I had been a tent dweller, someone who had little self-validation or autonomy, and who tended to define life by others' expectations and projections. #4 The midlife transition between the first half of life, which is spent developing the ego, and the second half, which is spent developing the full and true self, is like a difficult birth.
