Stitches : a handbook on meaning, hope, and repair by Anne Lamott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As with most of Anne Lamott's non-fiction, this is a wonderful, comforting read, even if you aren't much for the God-stuff. This particular slim offering is full of warming stories about how communities like Newtown can mend in the wake of inexplicable tragedies that seem to be the face of evil in the world. As with much of Lamott's work, the answer has to do with faith in something larger and the bonds shared between individuals.
It's faith, but it's the kind of faith that rolls up its sleeves, brings a casserole, and offers a little free babysitting when necessary.
2014 goal: 2/75
