If Women Rose Rooted

• About the book

A book of great power and beauty. At 30 Sharon Blackie was weeping in the car park of the tobacco corporation where she worked, wondering if this was what a nervous breakdown felt like. She realised she had lost herself. There began a journey to belonging. In this extraordinary book of myth, memoir and modern-day mentors, Blackie faces the wasteland of Western culture, the repression of women and the devastation of our planet and she boldly names the challenge: to reimagine womens' roles, rediscover the strength of Celtic women and reconnect with native land.
