AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Dancing the Labyrinth moves between contemporary and ancient Crete in the telling of Cressida’s story, where a discovery of Minoan paintings teaches her about the power of blood and the strength of friendship.

'CRESSIDA is a young woman running from a brutal past.

'Decision-making was never a strong suit, but following the unexpected death of her parents, Cressida follows the sirens call to Crete. Her newfound freedom is short lived. Falling pregnant, her overwhelming fear is that she will pass on her father’s violent DNA.

'Sheltering in a cave during a storm, Cressida comes across a trove of ancient Minoan paintings. She learns about Pythia, a Minoan High-Priestess who established a women’s community to safeguard their worship from an encroaching religion ordained by men.

'But are the images more than pictures of the past? Do they hold a message for future generations?

'As Cressida peels away layers of time, she discovers courage, honesty, and friendship, as she awakens to a deeper understanding of herself.

'Dancing the Labyrinth is a young woman’s odyssey. It is a celebration of women’s history, strength, friendship, and hope.'
