Thread: This book by Elizabeth McLaughlin deserves to be a handbook for women embarking on their own heroineā€™s journey, just as Campbellā€™s work served men as a guide on their heroā€™s journey.

Read the breathtaking introduction to the book below. This is what happens whenā€¦ /1 ā€¦a gifted author has more room to write than 240 characters. Elizabethā€™s stories have sunk deeply into my heart, and Iā€™m not anywhere near the target audience for this book.
