'Anne Lamott has a rare talent for making writing look easy ... Given the warmth, liveliness and intimacy of her prose, time with one of her books can feel like a visit with a friend.' -- Wall Street Journal 'Part memoir, part manual and part sermon from the church of Lamott, this satisfying escape points to notes of beauty in our uncertain world.' -- PEOPLE '[Lamott] talks about God, politics and other unmentionables, and gently exhorts her readers, as she does herself, to find joy in a bleak and chaotic world: a leftie guru of optimism.' -- The New York Times 'Again and again, Lamott steers us in and out of the canyons and potholes of despair.' -- Chicago Tribune
