I thought this book was really, truly inspired. Jennings is a talented writer, making things that can seem boring to talk about interesting. The subject was relevant for today (more and more millenials are leaving church all the time), and being written by someone with as many years of wisdom as Jennings has made it an enjoyable read. It was sad and painful at times, but the honesty and hope was just what I wanted from a book about leaving the Church. The prose in this one left me reaching for my pen over and over; I wanted to savor the words and not forget them.

A beautifully written book about one woman’s search for God outside the church after the death of her husband priest. There is both pain and light here and the author’s honesty re her journey shines through. I’d say though that my impression is of someone who has been a priest’s wife without really knowing God (I could be wrong). There is much I disagree with theologically but it is still a worthwhile insight into one person’s journey to find meaning in life.
