About this title

About the Author

Jayna Gieber, Warm Nest Woman, weaves a stirring account of triumph over suffering to achieve healing of body, mind, and spirit. In a lifetime, one might brush with death once, but Jayna makes her way not only through drug-addiction and alcoholism but also breast cancer. She realizes that to truly free herself from the past she must also heal the pain of her religiously oppressive upbringing and shunning by the Jehovah?s Witness religion. Jayna takes on us on a journey of the heart, revealing her deep love for her daughters, her husband, her ancestors, and Great Spirit. This passionate book offers hope to the hopeless, courage to the frightened, strength to the disempowered, and freedom to the spiritual seeker!
