    <body><![CDATA[Sue Monk Kidd is probably known to most readers as the author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid Chair. That’s how I knew about her even though I have yet to read both these books.

    <body><![CDATA[I expected this to be more of a travel writing book than it actually turned out to be.
