Freedom Song: Faith, Abuse, Music and Spirituality

This book is an autobiographical account of the development of an authentic interiority, based thematically around the Lord's Prayer. It charts the way in which the Christian faith in which the author was enculturated, was refined by her lived experience of music, abuse, forgiveness, interfaith dialogue, gender and vocation.
