A woman wakes in a strange house, not knowing who she is or how she came to be in this place. Thus begins the journey of a widow through memory, across time and space, into realizations that span the gamut of emotion from terror and guilt to ecstasy and love. This is the story of a woman's soul, all she has hidden and all she has revealed in her attempts to survive and to understand.

Autorenporträt
Christin Lore Weber writes from Casa Chiara Hermitage in the Siskiyou/Applegate Mountains of southern Oregon where she lives a contemplative life with her husband, author John R. Sack. Her early inspiration came from the north of Minnesota where she could be found sitting on a small hillock gazing out at the Rainy River to where it emptied into Lake of the Woods. The only child at her family's fishing lodge, she began early to see beyond the surface of this world. At 17 she left home for life in a Catholic Convent where she spent fourteen years. There she served as a teacher of English, drama, and religion; a counselor; and a director of religious education. She left formal teaching in 1974 to become the chaplain at a treatment center for troubled children. In 1982 she joined Reverend Alla René Bozarth as a co-director of Wisdom House in St. Paul, MN. During these years she earned academic degrees in the humanities, a M.A. in theology, and a Doctorate of Ministry in religion and psychology. Her doctoral dissertation became her first published book. When her first husband died in 1985 she began to write full time. She had entered early into the community of women attempting to find their way through a theology in mainstream Christian religions that had been written by and for men. In 1986 her book about this exploration, WOMANCHRIST, was accepted for publication by Harper SanFrancisco. From that time forward she has written twelve published books in a variety of genres. WIDOW'S WALK is her thirteenth title. Her work has been published by Harper/Collins, Scribner, Simon&Schuster, Yes International Publishers, and small presses including Loyola University Press, Innisfree Press and Luramedia Press. In recent years she has developed a preference for Independent Publishing which gives her more leeway to be creative.
