Dawn Reno Langley
26 books221 followersLangley writes full-time in Durham, North Carolina
Born an Army brat to a WWII and Korea vet, Dawn (Brander Tutela Reno) Langley began writing at a young age. Her essay on the Cuban missile crisis was published in a local newspaper, and since then, she has written hundreds of articles for newspapers and magazines, has published children's books, novels, nonfiction books on Native American and African American art, award-winning essays, short stories, and poetry.
As a novelist, she employs the skills she used as a journalist and conducts extensive research. Each story centers on a social dilemma, and she never writes a story about which she has no passion. The back story for each novel is on her Goodreads blog. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
She also blogs about excursions with her dog, Izzy, as well as one about growing up in the 1950s/60s and occasionally contributes to others' blogs (as well as to her own about gardening):

I thought this book was pretty well-written and uplifting, especially for anyone who looks or identifies as feminine in a world that has suppressed women for a long time. It's pretty simple to read, but I appreciate all the research and emotion that Dawn Reno Langley has put into her book, inspiring anyone regardless of gender to get in touch with their inner divine feminine. It's a book about connecting to one's internal spirituality, and I appreciate that. Also, her writing style is pretty captivating and it was easy to blow through this book. She does have some good writing prompts and practices as well.
My only complaint is that despite her very open mind and willingness to learn, the author does view things in a rather binary way of feminine versus masculine. Pretty much all of her powerful women examples (and I do admire most of those whom she chose so I am not complaining about them) were cisgender women and I would like to have seen more queer or non-binary representation.
