Christine Hale’s memoir (retitled) A Piece of Sky, A Grain of Rice is forthcoming from Apprentice House (April 2016). In this layered collage of memory within memory, Hale recreates for readers her kaleidoscopic experience of acceptance and insight along a broken path. Writer, prodigal daughter, single parent, Buddhist disciple, and, late in midlife, a newlywed, she is transformed through an unconventional relationship with a female spiritual teacher and an odd ritual of repeated tattooing with her two young adult children.
Lisa Romeo had a piece on Full Grown People in July. Read “Must Love Horses, Must Love Dogs” here.
