Produktbeschreibung
Patty Bear grew up among the "Plain People" amidst bountiful farmlands, black bonnets, and black cars. It was a world unto itself, both bucolic and beastly, with traditions and beliefs from the old world deeply rooted in the fertile soil of Central Pennsylvania. Insulated by a culture that steadfastly kept its distance from outsiders and the march of progress, as a little girl she anticipated following in her mother's footsteps. But in 1972, at the age of eight, her father sparked religious controversy and ignited a scandal rare in the Mennonite community. Abruptly subjected to the chaos that surrounded the ritual practice of shunning, Patty, her mother, and five siblings were swept into a tornado of absurd accusations and public humiliation, forced to hide and endure publicity that headlined prominent national newspapers for almost a decade. With her childhood and adolescence overshadowed by domestic violence and her father's abusive rhetoric, as well as persistent teaching by the Church that women were designed for subjugation and obedience, Patty's assumed image of her future gradually shifted-leading her to heed the call of her wild soul and the whispers of her Guides toward a bold quest for freedom she never imagined possible.

Autorenporträt
Patty Bear is an international airline captain, life coach, self-certified master multitasker, garden and interior design whiz, and voracious reader and self-learner. A pioneer rising out of a childhood in the insular and male-dominated world of the "Plain People," she became one of the early female Air Force pilots during the first decade women graduated from pilot training. She has spent over thirty years dedicated to the study of defying gravity: escaping conditioning, walking the transformational journey, and the practice of following the call of the wild soul. In 2016, she coauthored House of the Sun: A Visionary Guide for Parenting in a Complex World with Pat Shannon. Patty currently lives on the east coast with her family.
