The Boston Globe, Catherine
Foster
Traveling Mercies is a collection of small pieces
that shows how a life involved even the tiniest bit with
prayer can open up or shift into place.... Nothing very
dramatic happens in this book, just the steady accrual of
moments of grace, the opening of a clenched heart, the
stilling of a tongue. Anne Lamott doesn't become another
person, just a better one. And that, in its own way, is
plenty.
