Items related to Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair
From the bestselling author of "Help, Thanks, Wow "comes an honest, funny book about how to make sense of life's chaos. What do we do when life lurches out of balance? How can we reconnect to one other and to what's truly important when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable? These questions lie at the heart of "Stitches," Anne Lamott's captivating follow-up to her "New York Times"-bestselling "Help, Thanks, Wow." In this book, Lamott explores how and where we find meaning in our modern, frantic age, especially after personal and public devastation; how we recapture peace and balance after loss; and how we locate our spiritual identities in these frazzled times. We begin, Lamott says, by collecting the ripped shreds of our emotional and spiritual fabric and sewing them back together, one stitch at a time. It's in these stitches that the quilt of life begins, and embedded in them are strength, warmth and humanity.

Review:
"Lamott's pithiest, most insightful book yet, Stitches offers plenty of her characteristic witty wisdom...this slim, readable volume [is] a lens on life, widening and narrowing, encouraging each reader to reflect on what it is, after all, that really matters."
--People "Laced with stories, full of faith...a hopeful [book]."
--Minneapolis Star Tribune "The wickedly witty and very funny Lamott...makes you laugh at the same time she makes you think. This collection of moments, memories and spiritual insights is one of her best."
--Denver Post "Like a warming, hearty sip of soup after a day out in the cold or a candid letter from a friend."
--New York Daily News "[Stitches] brings the beloved author's trademark compassion, wisdom and tart wit to the question of how to deal with suffering and loss, both public and personal."
--Tampa Bay Times "Whirling, fuming, blunt, wise, and funny...Lamott's larky yet shrewd needle-and-thread spirituality is realistic and renewing."
--Booklist "Vintage Lamott: funny, brilliantly self-deprecating, and insightful."
--Publishers Weekly "Anne's thoughts on human loss and brokenness are served with slices of quirky humor, wisdom and spiritual insight that pulls readers in and won't let them go."
--Examiner.com Praise for Help, Thanks, Wow "Charmingly irreverent."
--More magazine "Filled with Lamott's unique brand of humor, wisdom, and profound spiritual insight . . . She has a gift for putting into words what it means to accept and ultimately embrace the beauty, mystery, and pain that is life."
--San Antonio Express-News "Prayer is a topic that can quickly turn treacly, but the reader needn't fear that in Lamott's irreverent hands."
--Minneapolis Star Tribune "Practical and poetic advice on prayer."
--The Oregonian
