In \u003cem\u003eRipening\u003c\/em\u003e, Sharon Blackie insists that fairy tales are precisely the stories we need for such times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories – passed down to us through generations by our peasant ancestors – taught us everything that women needed to learn about the world. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they insist that their heroines face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources. They teach us to be savvy, inspire us to grow in confidence, and show us how to be bold and claim the future we dream of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than anything, fairy tales are soul food. They show us how to take hold of our own personal narratives and transform them into stories that might begin with trauma, but end with empowerment. They offer us images of startling resonance and beauty, while showing us how to recognize and make use of the possibilities that rise up to the surface when broken systems are cracked open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jewelweed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150902411449,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/3263\/4244\/files\/OWN-Ripening-Cover.jpg?v=1778705047","url":"https:\/\/jewelweed.com\/products\/ripening","provider":"Jewelweed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
