We're pleased to announce that Anne Lamott will be at Arborlawn on Thursday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. The author will be speaking about her new book, Stitches. Anne will sign books during a reception following her talk. The event is free and open to the public.
Barnes & Noble will be on site selling books. Stitches will be released on Tuesday, October 29. The author will be on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday on Sunday, October 27.
Stitches is a wise and compassionate exploration of how we can make sense of life’s chaos.
What do we do when life lurches out of balance? How can we reconnect to one another and to what’s sustaining, when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable?
These questions lie at the heart of Stitches, Lamott’s profound follow-up to her New York Times–bestselling Help, Thanks, Wow. In this book Lamott explores how we find meaning and peace in these loud and frantic times; where we start again after personal and public devastation; how we recapture wholeness after loss; and how we locate our true identities in this frazzled age. 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, humor, and humanity.
