REVIEW:
DESPERATELY SEEKING, JOYFULLY BEING FOUND
Rudolph takes us with her on a journey that is at once deeply personal to her and
as well as mythic. In her story, interwoven with Persephone’s and Inanna’s, we may
recognize elements of our own, find inspiration and companionship for our own quest
and questions. Janet also reminds us that life is full of mysteries, time spirals
backward and forward; we not only seek but we are also found by human angels who
come into our lives when we most need them, and who are, in some way, always with
us. This beautiful, thoughtful, funny, poetic memoir gives the reader comfort and
inspires awe.
