These poems speak to the contemporary struggle to hold onto faith in a turbulent world. Within the collection is a thread of narrative, semi-autobiographical poems that document the author's journey from her initial Christian conversion through the trauma of domestic violence and into her healing and reclamation of faith. This is not a grim saga, however--it is intimate, emotional, and seeks out elements of beauty, hope, and generosity of spirit. With subjects ranging from butter sculptures to grape harvesting to internet hoaxes, these poems are sometimes whimsical, often funny, always thoughtful, presenting God as a loving, dynamic Savior who ushers his children into unexpected joy.
