Her characters take risks in searching out the unique places where faith thrives for each of them -- a rundown hotel, the currents of Cabo San Lucas, the embrace of an ex-convict. And once again, she surrounds them with her elegant language and exquisite images<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Maggie Jones <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> Hegi pulls up the shades on a rich diversity of lives...with a mature, confident voice.<br><br>Susan Salter Reynolds <i>Los Angeles Times</i> [Hegi] takes rickety, empty lives and sees them beyond their plainness, until they glow with meaning -- historical meaning -- and become saints.<br>
