Momma's Enchanted Supper: Stories for the Long Evenings of Advent, A Memoir

by Carol Dechant

The indomitable Momma is only one of the characters in Carol DeChant's stirring collection of memories. Gangsters and grandparents, nuns and bullies are all characters in these often quirky, sometimes bittersweet - but always unabashedly honest - tales.
Focusing on food, family, and humor, each of the thirty-one stories corresponds to an Advent reading, just as our own stories connect us to Scripture and to each other.

This is the third time I have read this book as a meditative book during the advent season. It uses stories from the author's life and family history to reflect on the bible readings of the season in the Catholic liturgy. I find it to speak to me and helps me reflect on how my life relates to the bible stories as well.
