Lamott, Anne, Traveling Mercies

A good friend of mine told me that this was one of her favorite books but that I might not like it because it was pretty raw.  I LOVED it.  This is an autobiographical series of essays written by a gifted writer who has amazing powers of perception, description, and honesty.  Raised in an intellectual family in Tiburon, California, and a product of the drug culture, Anne has an interesting group of friends as a child who expose her to life-changing experience that most of us never have (a good thing).  We get glimpses of a cadre of friends who eventually lead her to alcoholism and drug dependency and a series of very bad decisions.  As her life hits bottom, serendipitously she discovers a small community religious congregation which draws her into their midst by their love and unqualified acceptance and by their support and encouragement.  This is basically the story of one woman’s discovery of faith, in a very basic, elemental way of life.  Her gift of expression is so superb that you continually marvel at the juxtaposition of the tragic with the hysterically funny as she discusses topics ranging from becoming acquainted with Christ, to a small girl who overcomes her fear of dogs, to raising a son as a single mother, to providing support to a friend who is dying of cancer.  Her observations on life are absolutely classic. We are all the richer for sharing her experiences.
