Every human being lives a fairy tale -- an unconscious myth that works on us, shapes us, and points to our truth. Often the story is filled with danger and foreboding. The good news is, for those who examine it closely, the story also carries with it balm and healing. 'Here All Dwell Free' is an in-depth exploration of two classic fairy tales that have particular significance for women. The Handless Maiden will resonate in a special way with women who feel powerless in the contemporary world. In a similar way, Briar Rose is about falling asleep and waking, of abandonment and allowing oneself to be discovered by love. While the stories recounted here may be ancient, they speak to us today in unmistakable symbolic language, inviting us to enter them, live them, and be made whole again.

'An impressive piece of work, Storytelling: An Act of Liberation combines autobiography and paintings with literary and theological analysis to point toward a feminist theological method of storytelling as an act of liberation both of self and others.' Angela Bauer, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts Storytelling: An Act of Liberation critiques traditional ministerial paradigms, employing feminist "poetics" of critical evaluation - as these paradigms were refl ected in the German-speaking children's literature embraced in her study - and envisions a wholeness that can only be realized through an integration of those biblical, ecclesial, theological, literary and artistic sensibilities that her work exemplifi es.' Lucretia B. Yaghjian, Ph.D., Director, Episcopal Divinity School/ Weston Jesuit School of Theology WRITE Program 'Immense respect for, and appreciation of Storytelling: An Act of Liberation, and the journey leading to it. ... Powerful transformation, spirituality of personal and social reconciliation.'
