My Mother and Other New Englanders

My Mother and Other New Englanders is a story of faith measured out in ordinary lives. This volume is not only one family's history, but how faith in God gives perspective and depth to the million little incidents that make up every day. It is God who comes alongside, guiding each of us through good times, and carrying the weight of our disappointments, our suffering, and loss, even to the point of death. You may be a New Englander and recognize the backdrops that decorate many of the poems. But we all are pilgrims on the road of grace, recognizing the all-too-familiar struggles of this life and how they often mix with the poignant and sometimes humorous moments that follow us all the way home.
