This heart-touching spiritual memoir recognises that life is a messy, unpredictable, brutally hard, awe-filled, precarious gift – a potent mix that can both bless us and break us, pointing to the healing grace of God’s presence, active and alongside us in all of it. While recounting some of the most challenging threads from her own life and those of her family, Rosemary Lain-Priestley shares stories of parenting, anxiety, neurodiversity, unemployment, divorce, community, difference, loss, authenticity, cancer, home, coherence, companionship, precarity, dogs and horses, sabbath, liminality and love, and frames them all within an overarching story of God’s presence and grace. Foreword by Paula Gooder.
