My Karma Ran Over My Dogma: Lessons Learned by a Whistle-Blowing Minister Turned Mystic by Monica McDowell (2007) Paperback

Do sexual harassment and angels, civil rights and auras, a precedent-setting federal ruling and mystical awakening even go together? They do in the Rev. Monica McDowell's riveting, stranger-than-fiction true story, My Karma Ran Over My Dogma: Lessons Learned by a Whistle-Blowing Minister Turned Mystic. With a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in her back pocket, Monica lands her dream job at a Seattle Presbyterian church, only to find that within days, the senior minister is sexually harassing her. It all goes rapidly downhill from there, faster than you can spell l-a-w-s-u-i-t. But long before Monica is finally victorious as the first ordained minister in the country ever granted civil rights, her life takes another twisting turn this time towards the bizarre.
