"And the reality of God? Where will that be found? Well, I'll save you the trouble of reading all these many pages to find the answer. The reality of God lives within the heart of a precious jewel person like me, and like you." You will laugh at the chaos of family life shared in delightful essays such as "Morning has Broken" and "Summertime" in which she describes getting the kids off to school and what to do with them when they're out for the summer. Or you may chuckle at her descriptions of volunteerism in "Tips on Recruiting" and "Typical Volunteer." You will ask questions of yourself with Garrison: "Would you still say 'I do?'" "What are you doing now that is just for you?" "Am I happy?" "Who is God? Where is God?" And you will cry with her. Whether it is putting the dog to sleep in "The Courage to Say Goodbye," or over a witnessed fire in "The House," or over the death of a family member in "In Gratitude."
