Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France

Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France - Sue Monk Kidd, Ann Kidd Taylor Ugh! Was so excited to read this one, and it was pure drivel. Although I can relate to the author's situations, I so cannot relate to her responses - her seeking the magic pill to solve the aging issues. The Mary Mysticism thing is quite disconcerting. Do people really think like this? The daughter's side was a little more enjoyable, but she was equally a whiner. Her only real hardship in life is decision making! Oh, you know, whether to take her fiance's name, to hyphenate or keep her old name.I usually love memoirs, but this one was not my thing, at all.
