7Anne Hillman gathers up the skeins of love and grief, rage, the destructive, beauty and death, and weaves the story of a woman at the end of the twentieth century into the blazing story of the universe. We discover, along with the dancing animal woman, that we are no longer lonely: we belong, not just to our gender, our race, our nation or any other memberships by which we define ourselves, but to life itself. This is a state of healing that the author calls integrity; and in this potentially life-altering book, we discover how our personal journeys contribute to the spectacular dance that is the evolving story of the human race.
