Rise sister rise – A guides to unleashing the wise, wild woman within

Rebecca Campbell

I first read this book when I was isolated in a hospital room receiving radiation therapy for Thyroid Cancer. I was utterly alone, being radioactive and thus barred from visitors. Even the nurses had to keep well away from me to protect themselves. That was my first taste of total isolation and it was horrifying. A deep mental struggle

Thankfully a friend had recommended this book and I download it to my kindle. I devoured it within 24 hours and I can absolutely say that it saved my sanity.

The book is a call for you to remember who you truly are. Part workbook, part handbook, full of history poetry and ideas this book will enable you to access the depths of your soul.

It will help you listen to your intuition, have courage, heal and be the person you came here to be.

This is the perfect book to help you deal with the mental struggles that isolation can bring.
