Crone Rising

Fourteen women look back on the moments that shaped them. Their accounts move through the second half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, and each one is layered and charged with feeling. Taken together, the narratives honor the resilience and individuality of their speakers and show how a life can be both lovely and hard.

Crone Rising is part of the Guiding Voices nonfiction series from Jazz House Publications. The series is built on firsthand accounts from people who lived the events they describe, and this volume is meant to empower its readers.
