InSwinging on the Garden GateElizabeth J. Andrew, a writing instructor and spiritual director who makes her home in Minneapolis, MN, tells the story of how she awakened to her sexuality, accepted and found an embodied God in the circumstances of her life, and  connected to those touched by her self-discovery. The metaphor of her life as a garden first dormant, then blooming, then finally, riotously alive works because Andrew is a writer of such extraordinary power and beauty.-Rosemary Bray McNatt, a minister of the Unitarian Universalist Association and columnist for the UUA magazine.InSwinging on the Garden GateElizabeth J.
