then getting that connection back."--Washington Post

spiritual impasse."--Kirkus Reviews
"Compulsively readable, direct yet never indiscreet, Winner's book
shows intelligence and verve as it seriously addresses the

Lamott."--Library Journal (starred review)

readable."--Booklist

for a generation fed up with conventional answers."--Relevant

stranger, bigger and more faithful God than we expected."--Relevant

hopes of finding kindred spirits, then take this walk with
Winner."--Beliefnet

her life's story as an easel. . . . Like Anne Lamott (Traveling

imperfections."--The Washington Post
