Musings of a Book Addict
I'm married to a scavenger of sorts and he often totes home rescued boxes of books that I paw through with shiny, hungry eyes. I pull out the odd and interesting and add them to my teetering stack.

This is a fast read. Oxenhandler's conversational tone is sweet and accessible. There were many moments where the book seemed to be pure chaos, hopping from one idea to another with the threads barely connecting them, but in the end I finished the book with a warmth in my heart. I do think that when Oxenhandler speaks of "wishing" she really means "prayer" but is too frightened to say it. I do recommend this book for a nice, fluffy, spiritual read.
