More Description"Home: Thoughts on Belonging" is the final memoir in Raven's trilogy of becoming a healer ("The Reluctant Tarot Reader: Adventures in the Gypsy Trade" and "Just Another Crazy Cat Lady Story") and her most intimate to date. Raven tells of her upbringing in a strict, fundamentalist household with two older brothers, also adopted. She makes the difficult decision to leave the church once she comes out as a lesbian and struggles for years with the unanswered questions: Who is my mother? Who am I?This need to belong does not cease with age or accomplishment -- and it is not for the faint of heart to begin the search for home. Raven seeks out her beginnings in the faces of lovers, over 20 homes in two decades and thousands of miles. She meets her great love, Taurus -- and learns what it means to walk away from a soulmate until she can come to terms with her own history.Heartfelt, humorous and wise, "Home: Thoughts on Belonging" is the story of a woman who doesn't understand strength until she embraces her story and, in the telling, finds her freedom.
