About This Book
Few people can write about faith, parenting, and relationships as can
the talented, irreverent Anne Lamott. With characteristic black humor,
("Everyone has been having a hard time with life this year; not with all
of it, just the waking hours") she updates us on the ongoing mayhem of
her life since Traveling Mercies, and continues to unfold her spiritual
journey.
Plan B finds Lamott wrestling with mid-life hormones and weight gain
while parenting Sam, now a teenager with his own set of raging hormones.
Her observations cover everything from starting a Sunday school to grief
over the death of her beloved dog, Sadie; lamenting the war to
bitterness over her relationship with her now-departed mother.
As she tugs and pokes out the knots in a slender gold chain necklace, it
becomes a metaphor for letting go and learning to forgive. "…any
willingness to let go inevitably comes from pain; and the desire to
change changes you, and jiggles the spirit, gets to it somehow, to the
deepest, hardest, most ruined parts." It’s her willingness to show us
the knotted-up, "ruined parts" of her life that make this collection of
sometimes uneven essays so compelling.
"Everything feels crazy," writes Lamott, adding, "But on small patches
of earth all over, I can see just as much messy mercy and grace as
ever…." Lamott’s essays will serve as reminders to readers of the
patches of messy mercy and grace in a chaotic world.--Cindy Crosby
