Rhoda Weber Mack sees storytelling as a way to remember our long past and to richly imagine our future. She weaves nature schooling, adolescence, and the messy love of family into a series of stories that explore the solo journey we all embark on in coming home to ourselves. Her years as a carpool mom gave her insights into the changing--and perennial--chaos of the teen years.

She writes long-form fiction, creative nonfiction, and other word play. Her writings have appeared in Ploughshares, Best of Carve, and others. In her writing studio overlooking the trees of northwest Idaho, she edits Sofi and Willa’s Morning Pages, opens Lain’s handmade notebooks, and tracks Hadley’s tight group of friends who scatter to ride off the edge of childhood

"This book is very different from my usual reads of classic fiction. What I got was an adventure that had me holding the book in all sorts of directions. You see, this book plays with you like an activity book. I was equally caught with the adventure " Read more of this review »

“In the end, what we fear will not go away, for it indicates what we must go through in order to awaken, become more genuine, and live more fully. The problem is that we tend to be most afraid of what our own souls require of us. Often our deepest fear is that we might become who we are intended to be, who we already are at our core. For becoming who we truly are requires the greatest amount of change.”
Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn't End: Tales of Renewal in Times of Loss

“The real treasure of life, the one difficult to find and hard to attain, is never far from us. That’s an unwritten rule on this earth. What we desperately desire and need most is buried in the recesses of our innermost being all along. This is the open secret found in many traditions and told in many ways. Yet it remains a secret
because trusting in oneself remains one of the hardest things to do in life.”
Michael Meade

“Something deep in the human soul awakens as things fall apart. Something in the soul knows that everything in this world can become lost. And something in the soul knows how to survive periods of devastation, disorientation and loss. Descent and falling is the way of the soul from its beginning. We each fell from the womb of life when the waters of the inner sea broke and it came time for us to breathe on our own.”
Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn't End: Tales of Renewal in Times of Loss

“The ship is always off course. Anybody who sails knows that. Sailing is being off course and correcting. That gives a sense of what life is about.”
Michael Meade

“Life roars at us when it wants or needs us to change. Ultimately, change means trans formation, a shifting from one form to another that involves the magic of creation. The trouble with entrenched oppositions is that each side becomes increasingly one-sided and single minded and unable to grow or meaningfully change. In the blindness of fear and the willfulness of abstract beliefs, people forget or reject the unseen yet essential unity that underlies all the oppositions in life.”
Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn't End: Tales of Renewal in Times of Loss
