by Jennie Boyd Bull (Author)
Jennie Boyd Bull's memoir weaves a life from her Southern roots into the center of some of the most liberating movements of the past century. Raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, the came out as a lesbian and feminist activist in Baltimore in the 1970s, led MCC congregations in the LGBTQ community in Washington DC and Baltimore MD during the 1980s at the height of AIDS deaths, managed a feminist bookstore, served in the ashram of an Indian yogic spiritual tradition for 15 years, and today teaches Tai Chi on her return to the mountains of Western North Carolina. Her detailed and emotionally rich writing paints a vivid picture of each of these communities and her woman-loving spiritual seeking of embodied Truth--"still like a mountain, flowing like a river."
