Ever notice that all the books out there on the Goddess, all the Goddess card decks, are created by women? Move over, ladies. Savage Breast was penned by a contemporary male who has taken a much needed look at the roots of men's terror and repulsion when confronted by images of feminine strength.

Savage Breast is a daring exploration of archaeology, myth, metaphysics, love and sex, interwoven with the story of how his search brought up his own dark side and challenged his relationship with the woman he loves.

“The truly strange thing,” he says, “is that we men don't seem to recognize there's a problem here.” Problem? What problem? Aren't men doing housework now, using unisex language, accepting women on the job? But Ward makes it clear that until men open their eyes to their own buried hatred of the feminine, they too remain victims, unable to achieve the true intimacy they so desire with a woman.

Ward immersed himself in the research for this book, and his beloved Teresa dove in with him. Together they traveled to faraway places famous for ancient Goddess cultures, and together they unveiled within themselves the myriad reflections and contradictions of Kali… Diana… Artemis… even the “rotting goddess” Hecate.

On the one hand, this is a travelogue through ancient mythology. On the reverse face, it is a novel burning with searing passion. Ward spares himself not at all in his revelation of the raw realities of flesh and emotion that drew them ever more deeply into each other as they relived the sex and power struggles that have forever ensnared men and women.

Savage Breast offers an inner feast I fear few men will partake of. Those who do will find the banquet spicy, perhaps a bit hard to digest but ultimately tremendously satisfying. And women readers will have ample opportunity to learn about themselves, from a man's point of view.
