My Sweet Wild Dance

Winner of 2010 Golden Crown Literary Award

Written with searing honesty, this is the remarkable story of an
 extraordinary Scotswoman. Chris grew up in the impoverished aristocracy of post-war Scotland. The black sheep of her family, she struggled against the confines of class 
and gender, searching for truth in an atmosphere where lies were the
 norm. As soon as she was old enough to escape her parents’ stranglehold,
she tried on many different personas, experimenting with drugs, free
love, and anti-establishment politics.

Always on the cutting edge of radical thought, she was active around environmental issues decades before they were common knowledge. Turning to Nature for solace, she
moved to rural California, where she worked as a Jill-of-all-trades,
came out as a lesbian, and engaged in healing work centered around her
sexuality.

Facing her fears and finding love, she experienced many varied, riveting, and mind-expanding adventures that brought her to a place of deep compassion and forgiveness. Eventually, satisfied with nothing short of absolute freedom, she sold everything and took to the 
road, becoming the woman who follows the wind.


Mikaya Heart knows how to dance her own sweet, wild dance, and she
offers us a compelling picture of the agony and the ecstasy that are the
rewards of choosing one’s personal truth. The path she has forged
through the jungle of life is an inspiration to anyone who is looking
for the true meaning of love in our changing world.
