<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The <i>New York Times </i>bestseller from the author of <i>Dusk, Night, Dawn</i>, <i>Hallelujah Anyway, Bird by Bird, </i> and <i>Almost Everything</i> <p/>"Lamott's ...most insightful book yet, <i>Stitches </i>offers plenty of her characteristic witty wisdom...this slim, readable volume [is] a lens on life, widening and narrowing, encouraging each reader to reflect on what it is, after all, that really matters."--<i>People</i></b> <p/> What do we do when life lurches out of balance? How can we reconnect to one other and to what's sustaining, when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable? <p/> These questions lie at the heart of <i>Stitches</i>, Lamott's profound follow-up to her <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling <i>Help, Thanks, Wow</i>. In this book Lamott explores how we find meaning and peace in these loud and frantic times; where we start again after personal and public devastation; how we recapture wholeness after loss; and how we locate our true identities in this frazzled age. We begin, Lamott says, by collecting the ripped shreds of our emotional and spiritual fabric and sewing them back together, one stitch at a time. <p/> It's in these stitches that the quilt of life begins, and embedded in them are strength, warmth, humor, and humanity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lamott's pithiest, most insightful book yet, <i>Stitches </i>offers plenty of her characteristic witty wisdom...this slim, readable volume [is] a lens on life, widening and narrowing, encouraging each reader to reflect on what it is, after all, that really matters."<br> --<i>People</i> <p/> "Laced with stories, full of faith...a hopeful [book]."<br> --<i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i> <p/> "The wickedly witty and very funny Lamott...makes you laugh at the same time she makes you think.
