• Under the Horse's Ass: A Love Story - Human and Divine, by Mary Hamilton. 2000, Colenso Island Press; ISBN: 0968703704. Co-author (with Marion) of Leaving My Father's House and co-leader of Marion's Bodysoul Rhythms intensives, Mary writes of her continuing/deepening/expanding personal story "for the courageous women who have shared this journey into body [...] also [...] for women who cannot afford the time and money to attend the intensives or to undergo personal analysis, as well as for those who are too far-stretched in their care-giving for others to take the journey inward. The sharing of my experience is intended to encourage women to find the underside of experiences that make them feel overly sensitive, depressed, vulnerable, too subjective or a bit crazy with symptoms of extreme fatigue..."
