Reviews for 'Patriarchy, Passion & Peace'

"With courage and remarkable honesty, Sally shares a journey that is both singular and deeply resonant. Her words touched something ancient in me, the deep feminine place in the bones and soul that longs to be remembered. Reading this chapter felt like an exhale, a reminder that we are not alone, and that the path back to ourselves is shared. Sally’s message is a courageous and deeply personal offering, born from a path few would dare to walk. Her words carry the weight of lived experience and speak directly to the deep feminine within the reader. I felt profoundly moved and honoured to witness such honesty, and deeply grateful for the sense of recognition and companionship her story brings."

Shukrananda Gant

Pyscho-Spiritual Counsellor & Creative Voice Practitioner

"Equal parts reckoning and love letter, this chapter traces one woman's journey from the edges of invisibility back to her own name. A story of sacred fury and hard-won peace. Wright holds rage and grace with the same steady hands, and the effect is quietly luminous."

Summer McStravick

Creator of Flowdreaming® & author of Flowdreaming & Stuff Nobody Taught You

"What a generous gift to the reader this chapter is, offering us a window into the heart and mind of a woman journeying through life in her faith. This struggle to claim our identity and reconcile it with a patriarchal world resonates strongly with so many women. The ability to welcome in and hold all experiences alongside each other leads to a freedom which shines out in the pages. I am emboldened to embrace my name now!"

 Samantha Mather

Primary School Teacher & Tutor

"The author writes about her experiences of life and faith with such beauty and sensitivity. It is a story of darkness and light, of struggle and hope. It moved me to tears and reminded me of the truth that no matter how impossible challenges may seem, they will eventually evolve into something life giving, if we allow ourselves to see it."

The Rev’d Imogen Vibert

Priest in the Church of England

"This chapter is a deeply moving and courageous exploration of faith, identity and truth. With honesty and grace, the author invites us into the tension between pain and transformation, showing how even our hardest experiences can become catalysts for awakening. There is a beautiful weaving of vulnerability and strength throughout, making the story feel both intimate and universal. As I read, I am reminded that nothing in our lives is wasted, that everything has the potential to shape us if we are willing to choose it. A powerful and soul stirring moment."

Sesh Naidoo

PCC Coach Educator, Somatic Warrior Facilitator, Mother & Science Teacher

"This is a truly inspirational story. It challenges each one of us to genuinely face the daunting task of forging our own authentic understanding of the divine, rather than passively accepting the dominant perspective of orthodox theology. This process inevitably involves an encounter with the refiner’s fire, but as the author’s journey reflects, the rewards are incredible; one emerges a transformed and enlightened soul, armed and ready to journey on!"

Tessa Baker-Hytch

Head of Theology at Bruton School for Girls & the Blandford School 

"Sally’s writing opened in me a sense of the space in me that seeks connection to what lives beyond this patterning.  It's a wild ride, back to nature and the sense of our human animal, part of this earth and not in dominion over it, where the body is not sinful and our essential self as women is not inherently flawed by virtue of our ability to create life. It connects us to a divine that is not other, but is us, in all our fullness and love."
