Personal Quote:

[on any difficulties she encountered in casting Higher Ground] It should have been a lot harder. I'd say, "It's about a woman enmeshed in this very particular spiritual community who's trying to conceptualize and define God for herself". And you use the word "God" and people quake with fear. That's when I started to realize what a touchy, bizarre, sensitive, combative subject matter it is. See more »

Announced that she is five months pregnant with her first child, by new husband Renn Hawkey (September 2008). See more »
