love this book.I first read it in high school and even now I can relate to her in some of her pages. Such a great book.

brave on the rocks

I recently ordered a t-shirt from Sabrina Ward Harrison's website. I love both of her books, Spilling Open, and this one, Brave on the Rocks, and I wanted to support her work in any way I could. I think one of the most amazing things about finding an artist or writer that you love, is the moment when you think you couldn't love them anymore, and then something happens to increase your respect for them tenfold. This happened to me when I got that t-shirt in the mail. The package was addressed to my mom, and it read "the wonderful Terry Rogers" in Sabrina's own handwriting. I was simply glowing as I held the package. It was amazing to know that she takes the time not only to pour her life and her loves into her books, but she seems to do it in every other part of her life as well.Brave on the Rocks is a comort to read. It is inspiring and convicting, it is a message to the reader that they indeed are not alone in any of their doubts, fears, and worries about their own lives and creativity. It's a good book to keep by the bed along with Spilling Open.. open it to any page before going to bed, and you're sure to end your day feeling better about yourself and the world around you.

Not quite as fabulous - but damn good!

I must be the biggest fan in the world of 'Spilling Open', thus as you can imagine I was hugely excited for the release of the sequel. And it is good, just the same style, in a purely wonderful way. It is still as untidy and rich and interesting and colourful as the first. If you didn't like that one, you won't like this. Although you can tell she has developed new interests and talents, new artistic styles, yet it is just like the first, and equally lovable. I do, however, find 'Spilling Open' a little more healing, Sabrina is much more vulnerable and open, much more 'dishelved', yet 'Brave on Rocks' is more akin to a travel journal, and there is a slight distance between composer and audience that wasn't present in the first.It is truly very magical, and very worthwhile. Its a real shame it is not available in Australia and other countries out of North America (as far as I know.) If first venturing into Sabrina's work, I strongly suggest you purchase the first one first, though I am not in any way, shape or form discouraging the purchase of 'Brave on the Rocks'. It is as lovely as anything she could produce, which is pretty lovely.I truly hope there is more where that came from, she has altered my notion of beauty in art.

excellent!

This book is continuation - beginning in fall of 2000 - of where Spilling Open left off. I think this book will be most enjoyed by people familiar with Sabrina's amazing debut, Spilling Open: The Art of Becoming Yourself. (Since Brave deals with many of the issues that Sabrina found herself dealing with as a successful writer.) Part travel journal, this book also deals with the journey each of us makes through our lives. I found myself nodding with agreement as I turned each page - it truly reminds us that we are not alone in this world. Of course, the book is also visually stunning - her collage work is still present, with even more space given to watercolor painting -- truly beautiful! This is a must have!
