What I liked: Deep and lasting female friendship, inner exploration, exploration of the divine, finding freedom, pure honesty and authenticity, atmospheric South Carolina wildlife, art, mysteries of the psyche, and most importantly the power and necessity of revelation. 

What I didn't like: At times the writing style grew a little too sappy or cheesy for me, despite the good ideas.
