Sacred Groves

In the not-so-sacred Groves of Academe, where female colleagues can be less than supportive and male colleagues downright intimidating and even devious, Kathleen Davies felt intense pressure to prove herself as an English professor. But in the beautiful local cemetery, she found a truly sacred landscape that offered not only relief but inspiration. Once she was denied the professional success she had dreamed of, her interest in cemeteries became an obsession, and her photoshoots with her dog all over Ohio evolved into a spiritual quest that led to a surprising self-discovery. By turns meditative and lyrical, at times even hilarious, Sacred Groves traces a spiritual journey from anxiety and failure to self-acceptance. It is a book for anyone who has ever failed to prove themselves, only to discover something far more important than worldly achievement could ever give.

In Groves, nu atat de sacru, din Academe, unde colegele de sex feminin pot fi mai putin decat sustinatoare si colegii de sex masculin de-a dreptul intimidanti si chiar vicleni, Kathleen Davies a simtit o presiune intensa pentru a se dovedi profesor de engleza. Dar in frumosul cimitir local, ea a gasit un peisaj cu adevarat sacru care oferea nu numai usurare, ci inspiratie.
