Circling the Edge: Listening to the Whispers of the Wild Soul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781039141087)

Growing up in a Scottish Presbyterian family in the nineteen fifties, Wilma is completely at odds with her inner world. Craving something she could not name and defying cultural expectations, she leaves Scotland. Her search takes her all over the world, climbing in remote mountains, exploring and working in exotic countries.

Exposed on her travels to vast differences in faith and cultural norms regarding women's roles in society and home, Wilma finds the courage to distance herself from the repressive lessons of her youth and examine her personal insecurities. She grows to delight in aspects of herself that she'd been taught were unworthy and reinvents herself as a passionate, self-aware, empowered woman in all her chosen roles.

This is a story of becoming. With authenticity, she draws the reader into a turbulent yet rewarding adventure of loss and love. Wilma's spirited memoir will resonate with anyone seeking self-discovery and acceptance as they explore the winding path of their life experiences.
