| I read this book on my Kindle! |
Apparently, I'm still on my conversion memoir kick! This book is the story of how an ex-drunk, ex-lawyer, ex-wife became Catholic and how she tries to live out her faith every day in the hidden, seemingly pedestrian life, of a single, barely-squeaking-by, woman living in LA. I loved this book. It is off-beat, profound, joyous and thought-provoking. I think King is a little off on some of her theology but as we are all works in progress and I'm probably off on some of my own take on things, I gave her some slack! King's unique perspective also put some aspects of the faith in a new, refreshing light for me. This book made me feel grateful; grateful to King for sharing her journey in such a compelling way and grateful to God for blessing her with the gift of writing and the gift of seeing grace in suffering.
King also wrote the book Parched which I also highly recommend! King has a wonderful blog as well.
