A charming, touching memoir, and a reminder that we can find beauty and love in any environment; that we should appreciate and enjoy and find the beauty in the place and situation where are are located. At first, I wondered where these stories were headed. They were enjoyable, but what did they mean? She tied them up together in a charming faith journey. I found myself caring about these people and would like to know more about their life.

A very accessible literary memoir. I appreciated the humor, honesty, and vulnerability the author brought to her story. Sometimes the story was intriguing enough that I didn't want to put the book down. Other times, I wanted to savor the book and read back over the sections that connect childhood events and relationships with her spiritual development. rwj
