Drinking the Rain by Ak Schulman
A memoir of spiritualism and self-discovery from the acclaimed, award-winning author
At fifty, Alix Kates Shulman, author of the celebrated feminist novel, Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen, left a city life dense with political activism, family and literary community, and went to live alone on an island off the coast of Maine. On a windswept beach, in a cabin with no plumbing, power, or telephone, she found that she was learning to live all over again.
In this luminous, spirited book, she charts her subsequent path as she learned not simply the joys of meditative solitude, but to integrate her new awareness into a busy, committed, even hectic mainland life.
A ten-year voyage of discovery . . . Shulman's honesty and sense of inquiry carry us with her all the way--could even, if we were willing, change our lives. --San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle
Alix Kates Shulman has written over a dozen volumes, including Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen and other novels, memoirs, two books about anarchist Emma Goldman, and children's books. She spends time in both New York City and Maine.
