Having grown up in French-speaking West Africa and traveled all over the world, she is constantly surprised to wake up every morning in her gently-fading small American town which, even after 16 years, still feels like the end of the world.

Reviews

[Teresa]

So, I can’t recommend this book. But I did really enjoy it.
Some days were too sarcastic and irreverent, sometimes the theology seemed off, but other days were fantastic. I get her sense of humor. And she has a way with word pictures and analogies that sticks with me.
I wrote down the numbers of all my favorite entries in the back of my book for reference, but out of 365 there were about 50 gems, in my opinion.

Kindle version is a mess

The content I’m sure is superb. But the Kindle version is a mess. I’ll need to get a refund as I wait for technical issues to get sorted out.
