Her subsequent true-life story takes the reader beyond the difficult cult years, and through a variety of inspiring adventures that prove to shed light on the freer aspects of spirituality as compared to some of man's weighty religious doctrines. Makena shares her story with the intention of providing hope and freedom to individuals who may have experienced unnecessary fear, guilt, or shame from a religious experience. She likens the metamorphosis of religion to spirituality as to the butterfly who escapes the cocoon.
Makena, semi-retired, currently lives in the foothills of the Sierras. She is the mother of three, and grandmother of seven. She enjoys family, kayaking, golfing, and writing.ver menos
