Nothing profound.
And then...
A phrase came to me and I think it had everything to do with voice when women were birds.
You know, bird song, morning, evening vespers.
You know, how do we as women...
Find our voice.
Use our voice.
Keep our voice.
And when we lose it, how do we retrieve it?
So that's what my mother gave me.
I think her silence became her voice.
And that became an urgency in my own.
With my father, I think what I emulate about my father is he's so honest.
He's all about earth, dirt, shovel.
And he's still around, right?
He's 92.
And I can tell you two accounts.
One, I wrote a book called Refuge, and it was about the rise of Great Salt Lake and the death of my mother.
And I called my father a month before the book came out, and I said, Dad, I'm so worried it will be read as gossip in our neighborhood.
Have I told things I shouldn't have about the church and about family?
