How can we reconnect to one other and to what's sustaining, when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable? These questions lie at the heart of Stitches , Lamott's profound follow-up to her New York Times -bestselling Help, Thanks, Wow . In this book Lamott explores how we find meaning and peace in these loud and frantic times; where we start again after personal and public devastation; how we recapture wholeness after loss; and how we locate our true identities in this frazzled age. We begin, Lamott says, by collecting the ripped shreds of our emotional and spiritual fabric and sewing them back together, one stitch at a time. It's in these stitches that the quilt of life begins, and embedded in them are strength, warmth, humor, and humanity.Product IdentifiersPublisherPenguin Publishing GroupISBN-101594632588ISBN-139781594632587eBay Product ID (ePID)167441652Product Key FeaturesBook TitleStitches : a Handbook ON Meaning, Hope and RepairAuthorAnne LamottFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicSpirituality, Healing / General, Language, General, Motivational & InspirationalPublication Year2013GenreSelf-Help, Body, Mind & Spirit, Religion, PhilosophyNumber of Pages112 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.3in.Item Height0.6in.Item Width5.1in.Item Weight9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesAge Range18Grade fromTwelfth GradeReviewsPraise for Help, Thanks, Wow "Charmingly irreverent." - More magazine "Filled with Lamott's unique brand of humor, wisdom, and profound spiritual insight . . .
