About The Book

In Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds, the eighth book in her bestselling Medicine Woman series, Lynn V. Andrews illuminates menopause as a transformative passage into wisdom, inner strength, and spiritual rebirth.

In Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds, the late bestselling author Lynn V. Andrews illuminates the experience of menopause, offering a fresh perspective that transforms it from a source of discomfort into a time of empowerment, spiritual rebirth, and access to a new and beautiful way of life. Drawing from the teachings of the Sisterhood of the Shields, Andrews blends feminism and mysticism, encouraging women to embrace menopause as a sacred passage to inner strength, personal power, and the timeless beauty that comes with age.

Offering practical guidance through ancient wisdom and rituals, Andrews emphasizes the importance of honoring this extraordinary life transition. She redefines menopause as a gateway to "wise-blood"—a time when women can shed the burdens of their younger years and discover deeper meanings within themselves.

Dedicated to all women navigating this transformative phase, Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds empowers readers to maintain their personal power and celebrate the sacred significance of menopause.

The late Lynn V. Andrews was the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Medicine Woman series, which chronicles her three decades of study and work with shaman healers on four continents. Her study of the way of the sacred feminine began with Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs, Indigenous healers in northern Canada. Her quest for spiritual discovery continued with a shaman curandera of the Yucatec Maya people, a Koori Aboriginal woman of high degree in the Australian outback, and a Nepalese healer in the foothills of the Himalayas. Today, Lynn is recognized worldwide as a leader in the fields of spiritual healing and personal empowerment. A shaman healer and mystic, Andrews is widely acknowledged as a major link between the ancient world of shamanism and modern society’s thirst for profound personal healing and a deeper understanding of the pathway to enlightenment.
