Wendy After Peter: A Maiden Journey

Wendy After Peter is ex- rock journalist and women’s spiritual writer Sarah Durham Wilson’s first book of fiction. All but the last chapter was written in 2014 during the waning Maiden years of her life, and Wilson loosely based the book on her own Maiden Journey, the time before she both archetypally and physically entered Motherhood. The book also plays upon her love for the Peter Pan tale- the story follows the character of Wendy, recently divorced from a rockstar named Peter Jackson. Wendy takes shelter on a New England island and, with the help of two local women, begins to find herself, discover her own healing feminine nature, and become the woman she’d been looking for.
