Small Victories

Bestselling author Anne Lamott narrates her collection of new and selected essays with a serene and convincing voice that supports each teachable moment on grace. She shares her personal stories on spirituality, relationships, and sobriety in a tender, appealing tone that aims to help others through her lessons learned. Her honesty and self-deprecating wit add character that charms the listener. Lamott gently incorporates scripture and political views when necessary without being judgmental or pushy, making for a refreshing activist stance that the listener is sure to appreciate. The wise points in each autobiographical essay radiate hope that listeners can triumph over the pain and disappointment that are part of the human condition. D.Z.
