4.9/5 (24211 ratings)

Description:THE METAPHOR MAKER is the story of a young woman in search of "a metaphor to live by." Spring 1968. Berkeley anti-war activist and would-be poet Madeline Prescott embarks on an inner quest: a spiritual journey born out of grief for a brother lost in war, a country whose leaders are cut down by violence, and a family torn apart. In a coastal town bookshop filled with odd and comforting characters, Madeline finds a temporary nest in which to heal, re-imagine hope, explore romantic love, and discover her own poetic voice. Madeline's quest is set in one of the most turbulent times in American history, when middle-class youth felt more passionate about ideas than financial success. Philosophy was in vogue; poetry was everywhere. Women were just finding their voices. THE METAPHOR MAKER ultimately portrays the power of empathy, hope, and generosity of spirit in a pluralistic, rapidly changing world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
