After decades of spiritual practice and recovery, Prajna’s dream of a thriving career, family, and a life full of possibilities shattered in the course of a weekend. With intimate storytelling, Prajna recounts the ecstasy of home birth and the tragic account of birth interrupted by medical intervention. Her heroine's journey began with the devastation of mothering one-pound brain-injured twins. She walks us through the most humbling emotional ordeals and dark nights that uncover the troublesome consequences of modern birth and the indomitable power of the human spirit.
"There is magic in Prajna’s voice — the breathtaking honest telling of a dramatic human story. The moving, uplifting, cleansing, surging power that makes you feel you’ll never be the same again!" —Sarah Tavner, BBC Documentary Producer
“Edge of Grace is a medicine story. One that can have a powerful effect. I love how it reveals the reality behind the illusions of the patriarchal world and plucks the chord of knowing that the invisible caregivers are actually the ones holding the world together with their embodied prayers. Thank you for doing this. The benefits extend far beyond your family.”
—Charles Eisenstein, Speaker, and Author, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible
“Edge of Grace is simultaneously heartbreaking and heart-opening. Prajna's inspirational memoir is a potent and significant offering for the silenced feminine. With self-honesty and tenderness, she reshapes deep pain, using it as a catalyst for our human evolution.” –Jac O'Keeffe, Author of Born to be Free and How to be a Spiritual Rebel.
“Prajna offers us a moving story of one woman’s profound commitment to mothering, awakening, and love. Her fierce dedication to following her own feminine wisdom and truth is so inspiring. Her story shines with courage, beauty, authenticity, and redemption.” —Lisa Schrader, Founder of Awakening Shakti.com
“A searing memoir that is simultaneously tragic and heartwarming, funny and wise, that celebrates the beauty and fragility in our most vulnerable moments. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more.” —Dr. Haines Ely, KVMR Radio, Earth Mysteries
“This is the story of a Spiritual BadAss! It’s impressive when the gurus and yogis of the world can attain peace by sitting in the lotus position in a cave somewhere… But when you can attain true peace and equanimity with the Heroine challenges Prajna has faced - now THAT’s a Spiritual BadAss!”—Sonika Tinker & Christian Pedersen, Founders of Love Works For You.com
“Prajna’s riveting account of her path through life’s greatest challenges simultaneously broke and healed my heart. It reminds me of a Muriel Rukeyser quote: ‘What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.’ Prajna’s telling of her truth is a blessing to each reader and the world.” —Amber Aldrich
