MODERN ATHENAS Episode 12: The Value of Reflection & Discovery / A Year by the Sea

MODERN ATHENAS

A Year by the Sea, by Joan Anderson
In the year following a separation from her husband, Joan weathers loneliness and makes new beginnings. She spends intentional time reflecting and discovering her needs, possibly for the first time in decades since becoming a wife and mother. She learns through all of her trials in the year by the sea, that there is great value in individuality. Joan’s toughness, drive, perseverance and vulnerability makes her a Modern Athena.
