This is a kindly book, full of Lamott's trademark neurotic spirituality, and it's one Lamott's fans will want, because they've watched Sam grow up through her memoirs and her column in Salon.
The Washington Post
From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird by Bird, Hallelujah Anyway, and Almost Everything
