Kate Green (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 28, 2003

The Hundredth Woman is the playful, passionate, and soul-baring story of three gutsy women. Clarissa, a mixed-blooded Cherokee activist, must stop a nuclear dump to save her town. Serena, a cranky multimillionaire and shack-dwelling hermit, has three missions to accomplish before she turns sixty. One is to find the daughter she abandoned at birth-Clarissa. Morgan, spirited and almost wise, is Clarissa's counselor. Her life is good-but not right. In fact, her man-of-the-moment has just turned violent and she has no plan of escape.The lush North Carolina summer pulses with possibility as the lives of these three women unravel, then unite, in surprising and wondrous ways.Children, lovers, work, friends, ghosts from the past, and their own overworked emotions tug at their attention. As an otherworldly foe seeks to destroy them all, the three women face an extraordinary challenge. They must tip the balance in the critical mass needed to usher in-on a global scale-the womanly values of compassion, connectedness, intuition, nurturing, and stewardship of the earth.The Hundredth Woman is a page-turning adventure, a get-down gab fest, a transcendent vision of womanhood, and an inspirational good time, all at once.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a card-carrying Hundredth Woman, October 22, 2003

This review is from: The Hundredth Woman (Paperback)

I loved The Hundredth Woman. The characters are real women who are great role models for how to find and follow your path in life, whatever that may be. They demonstrate how living with passion can transform us as individuals, and can transform the world. Through the characters, the author shares the secret keys to a happier, richer life: open your heart, love enthusiastically, laugh often, connect with nature, be persistent in following your dreams, despite the obstacles, and make connections with like-minded souls from all realms. I found the women and their relationships to be an inspiration, and a reminder that I am not alone in my personal quest. There ARE other women like me out there - women who want their lives to be richer, more meaningful, and more connected. This novel helps us to see how to accomplish that. I plan to give this book to several of my friends, and will re-read it regularly. I'm happy to consider myself a Hundredth Woman!

This review is from: The Hundredth Woman (Paperback)

I loved The Hundredth Woman! Weaving women's history from the witch hunting craze in Europe with the lives of three modern women, Kate Green has created an action-packed adventure sure to entertain. But The Hundredth Woman is more than "just" fiction because the world she writes about is our world, the trials and tribulations of the characters are ours as well, and their process of awakening and growth can be ours, too. Kate asks, "What if women hold the key to our future?" By the end of the book, it's clear that we do.
