challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

A beautiful, compelling book. The prose is simple but the topics and insights are rich. I so wish I could take Barbara Brown Taylor’s course. I will be recommending this one to many.

I wanted to love this book, but I found it to be slow and unsatisfying. Parts were lovely and lyrical, and I felt a real connection to the characters, but the story felt unresolved and uneven. I don’t regret reading it, but don’t think I’ll recommend it.
