I loved this book.</em><br /> <strong>Celeste Lovick, author of</strong><em><strong> Medicine Song</strong></em></p><p><br /> <em>Gina Martin weaves a magical tale of possibility. Parting the tides to bring forth a new/old understanding of our shared past; A past in which the goddess - and therefore all life - is held sacred. And that is exactly what we need right now.</em><br /> <strong>Jessica M. Starr, author of </strong><em><strong>Waking Mama Luna and Maid, Mother, Crone, Other</strong></em></p><p><em>Sisters of the Solstice Moon is a visionary tale of women coming together with a singular purpose... the survival of Mother Earth. Evocatively written, Martin draws us into an epic story that follows thirteen Priestesses on individual quests that lead them to the star-filled skies of Egypt. Along the way, we are immersed in ancient Goddess rituals and instructed by these powerful women on living in harmony with nature. Feminist, futuristic and unabashedly Matriarchal, Sisters of the Solstice Moon is a story for this moment in time.</em><br /> <strong>Lisa Levart, author/photographer of </strong><em><strong>Goddess on Earth: Portraits of the Divine Feminine</strong></em></p><p><br /> <em>Gina Martin's mesmerising tale carries us across water, fire, earth and air to the realm of the ancient Priestesses of the Goddess. As fiction blurs with memory, something stirs deep inside. We are pulled into the weave of the<br /> Sisterhood, and summoned to remember the wisdom bubbling beneath the surface, ready to re-emerge.</em><br /> <strong>Nicole Schwab, author of </strong><em><strong>The Heart of the Labyrinth</strong></em></p><p><em>Homer move over! Gina Martin's Sisters of the Solstice Moon is a timeless, astonishing and visually captivating tale of the origins of female worship of the Divine Feminine that carries us into the land of Egypt during the era of the Pharaohs. Expertly and divinely inspired it is a remarkable journey complete with a super savvy elephant and a spirited sea creature who save our determined travellers from certain death. The characters are delightful and the words dance off the page!</em><br /> <strong>Kristi Zea, film producer, director, production designer</strong></p><p><em>Martin breathes narrative details into the embers of this story that make it crackle to life. Beautiful, engrossing, and dreadfully relevant, this book will remind you of the latent power of Women. At a time when the radical right and authoritarianism are on the rise all over the world, it's a great comfort to remember that hope is not lost; it's only hibernating.</em><br /> <strong>Jeanine Cummins, bestselling author of</strong><em><strong> A Rip in Heaven </strong></em><strong>and award winning novel</strong><em><strong> The Outside Boy</strong></em></p><br>
