A deeply moving memoir by one of America's most accomplished spiritual writers of her journey toward God. With consummate skill, Tickle shows us how a busy outer life, filled with school, marriage, family, and a near-death experience, can give birth to an inner life of prayer and hope. A luminous book, one to be treasured. <br>-Philip Zaleski, editor of The Best Spiritual Writing series and author of Gifts of the Spirit <br> Mrs. Tickle writes very well about American life in the mid-twentieth century, and I am sure that many readers will appreciate her spiritual journey. I hope the book will sell hugely! <br>-Susan Howatch, author of Penmarric, Glittering Images, and Absolute Truths <br> I have always loved Phyllis Tickle, and reading her personal story tells me why. She is real, honest, human, humorous, and deeply spiritual. Her book is a treasure. <br>-John Shelby Spong, author of Here I Stand: My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity, Love, and Equality <br>
