The Second Journey: The Road Back To Yourself (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was a little simple for my taste. I liked the whole premise of going on a journey to discover your roots because I have done that and enjoyed it greatly. There is real merit in that experience. But the idea of tying it to a discovery of self, at least in the way this author describes it, is not convincing. Staying home for the discovery of self, and really focusing on issues, would be more believable for me. Joan Anderson gathers wisdom of self from many sources and that is the way it should be. The Second Journey reveals the understanding of self as a journey through which many people travel, share, contemplate and attempt to understand how they are as they are. I enjoy reading Joan Anderson simply for the wisdom she shares although not always embracing how she traveled. Women need to journey, go deep within themselves and nurture themselves in whatever manner they can. Thanks Joan for many nuggets of wisdom. I enjoyed the book and will refer back to it often.

Probably my favourite of all her books. Especially loved her time in Iona. Filled with great quotes.
