Author Biography

Lyn Brakeman is a retired Episcopal priest and alumna of Smith College and Yale Divinity School. Her mother called her a "miracle" from God. Under pressure to be miraculous and free from excessive maternal praise, Brakeman sought refuge in her favorite book, The Little Book About God, by Lauren Ford. She talked to God, who always listened and never talked back.

Brakeman took this God into her heart as accompanist and instructor in her search for wisdom from life experience--motherhood, marriages, divorces, church politics, silent retreats, psychotherapy and spiritual direction, travel, and writing. She is also the author of two books of midrash and a memoir.
