re-read
I read this for the first time in October of 2006, actually -- it was loaned to me by my friend Lucy. Around the holidays I went out and bought myself my own copy (and one for my mother) and proceeded to start re-reading it, bit by bit. Since I am expecting a child through adoption, I've been trying to actively wait with patience and grace. This has really been a challenge. This isn't why Sue Monk Kidd wrote her book, but that's the beauty of books -- we bring ourselves to them and sometimes find what we need. Her spirituality regarding waiting in our hurried-up world was a much-needed lens for me. Her writing is also quite lovely and she made me want to open up and write about my own experience. I've done very little of this yet, but it's been an inspirational book for me.
