Sue Monk Kidd is a celebrated writer of both fiction and nonfiction, whose multimillion-copy bestselling books, including The Secret Life of Bees, have been translated into 36 languages. Her journey as a writer began with a spiritual search in her thirties, a period of profound personal transformation that she chronicles in When the Heart Waits. This experience of moving from conventional religion to a more contemplative, authentic spirituality forms the very foundation of her compassionate and insightful guidance for others on the same path.
