In Anne Lamott's book, she confronts the harsh truth that many of us grapple with every day: How can we recapture the confidence we once had in the world and in the future as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up every day - from climate crises to threats to democracy to daily assaults on civility - how can we mere mortals cope? Where, Lamott asks, 'do we start to get our joy and hope and our faith in life itself back ... with sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?' We begin, Lamott explains, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity 'in the here and now. ... We look up and around for [the] brighter ribbons' of connection, loyalty, and support. Drawing from her own experiences and her own faith journey, Lamott offers insights into the intimate and human ways we can bring back hope by demonstrating we can travel through the darkest places toward a more hopeful light that is still burning.
