Beyond Darkness

About the Book

Set in the 1980’s, Beyond Darkness is a story of a mature woman, who has just left her husband after thirty years of marriage. She has become a member of a Rajneesh commune in Sydney and travels to the United States for a year where she comes to accept her sexuality as natural instead of her previous feelings of shame and guilt. The book also follows the lives of her extended family and their attitudes towards her new outlook on life.
