Tilda Norberg's Dancing in the Parking Lot tells the story of a life on the creative edges of church and society. In these pages, the author reveals experiences that shaped her: her Alabama roots with "Granny," a mountain midwife; lessons from her mother, "The Rebel"; and perhaps most significantly, the sudden death of Norberg's devoted parents in an Easter Day plane crash when she was just sixteen years old. In her adult life, Norberg shepherded an East Harlem street gang; became a feminist; climbed mountains; fought for ordination; and birthed a ministry. In these pages, you are invited to step into the life of a modern mystic, social activist, feminist pioneer, church reformer, and revered counselor.
