Praise
“A fabulous book—brilliant, tender soulful. Nora Gallagher is everything I love—smart, searching, vulnerable, faithful, doubting, deeply real, and a beautiful writer.” —Anne Lamott
“Phenomenal…. May be the best book about real faith that I will ever read.” —Sue Halpern, author of A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home
“Part medical mystery, part critique of the American health-care system, and part commentary on modern faith.” —The Washington Post
“Gallagher’s memoir is about many things: illness, mortality, faith and doubt, work, busyness, navigating through the crazy quilt that is the American health-care system, and, ultimately, about regaining one’s health and one’s place in the universe.” —Booklist
“A poetic tale of a personal medical crisis…. The author navigates the complex American health care system, the fear and mystery surrounding her search for medical answers and healing, and her renewed appreciation for the necessity of vision: to read, to write, and to view the world…. A deeply introspective journey.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Poignant…. Gallagher does not dole out easy answers in this somber, reflective work. But she finds the humble, bracing imperative to live in the present.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Gallagher] learned how illness can strip away not only the illusion of control, but also one’s faith, hope, and very identity…. She radically redefines what faith means to her.” —The Christian Century
