SUMMARY:Sacred Cows and Golden Calves
DESCRIPTION:Tim Flood’s first thought was to tell his mother’s difficult story of abuse in Washington State in the early 1940s. Instead\, he wrote a novel\, loosely based on his mother’s experience but set far away in the Middle East and long ago in the 13th c. BCE. He saw the deep beliefs behind underlying the way his mother was treated. He calls those beliefs “sacred cows and golden calves\,” the outmoded ways of thinking that plague humanity in any era\, including today. \nThe Flower of Canaan became a story of a woman’s abuse and her courageous defiance. Writes one reviewer\, the novel is “… an unforgettable portrait of a woman who refuses to let the worst moments of her life define her.” \nTim will share his own emotional journey and challenges as a male writer trying to give voice to a woman’s struggles. He will also talk about the imperative to shake off still-powerful primitive beliefs about women and to evolve men’s ways of thinking about and relating to women. \nAs usual\, event open to the public. Free parking in the lot. OK to BYO snack/beverage\, or goodies to share if you wish. Water provided. No entrance fee\, but donations gratefully accepted. Questions? See https://aofonline.org/contact-us/.
