First published 2014
Stumbling upon her teen journal, Barbara Ehrenreich confronts the mystical experiences that shook her worldview as a young skeptic. Revisiting this transformative time, she grapples with the unsettling implications of the uncanny visions that upended her atheistic certainties. As Ehrenreich's lifelong quest for meaning collides with her commitment to empiricism, her personal memoir becomes a profound meditation on science, spirituality, and the "wild god" that defies rational explanation.
