Overview

It is said that there is no prayer more powerful than that of a mother for her child.But who prays for the mother?In her debut memoir, Kari Erickson writes a remembrance of that power. Hers is a story of two December births: the first beautiful yet shattering, the second yielding premature twins who struggled to maintain their footing among the living. Stripped of her identity as a successful corporate lawyer and feeling for the first time alone as a foreigner in the homeland of her husband, Kari found herself ensnared by postnatal anxiety alternating with periods of world-collapsing depression. Only in embracing the end of her previous life could Kari find communion with mothers across time, culture and the legacy of her own DNA. And only in releasing the masculine way of navigating her challenges could she harness the power of motherhood to heal both herself and her family. No Prayer More Powerful neither devastates nor overwhelms; rather it invites us into the darkness of our own struggle, wherein the starlit path to wholeness finally becomes clear. ""A tender, honest and deeply reflective account of motherhood as initiation and intergenerational healing.""

""Personal, riveting, and provocative.In this powerhouse debut, Kari Woolf turns her lively, arresting prose to exploring deep questions of motherhood, identity, and intergenerational healing. Her unflinching look at the changes wrought by motherhood offer mothers, daughters, and women everywhere a platform for reflection, compassion and healing. A must-read for every woman who has ever felt lost in a role that wasn't big enough to hold her. I was hooked from page one. I couldn't put it down!""Katherine Hall, founder Books of Eden Publishing
