Paula D'Arcy gives a very detailed description of her journey in search of God following a terrible tragedy in her personal life. The pilgrimage is long and filled with peaks and valleys. Paula is tested but she survives to write a remarkable tale of how she comes to know God in a deep and intimate way.

The reader's enjoyment is enhanced by Paula's excellent writing. It also doesn't hurt if you like birds and the outdoor life.

Paula's loss of husband and child brought her into a spiritual wilderness, a void deeper than can ever be explained. Paula shares with us her inner struggles, her ability to let go and go so deep as to be given amazing grace. This search is not easy, it seems when one is ready to give up on oneself, at that very second something/someone transcends us and grace is welcomed and received. Another author who shares with us her insights is Kathleen Norris in her book Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith.
