Traveling Mercies
submitted by halofriendly on July 23, 2011, 5:47pm
Lamott's memoir isn't new, but it's a great read, especially if you're intrigued by her two follow-up books, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith and Grace (Eventually). Lamott, a left-wing Christian feminist with dreadlocks, is not afraid of being genuine and being truthful, even when it comes to her past drinking problems and slowly losing her best friend, Pammy, to cancer.
But Lamott has the knack to take even the harshest memory and recollect it with humor and reverence all at the same time. Her candor will make you laugh as you breathe a sigh of relief that you're not the only quirky person to walk this earth. She continues to be my favorite author of all time with every book that she writes, but this one rates the highest.

Good stuff submitted by jjdijkstra81 on August 22, 2011, 5:55pm Witty, yet simple, spiritual, real, raw, humorous. Agree whole heartedly with the "Traveling Mercies" review below.
