Description

"I was immensely moved by this elegant book, which reminded me... that all of us... must face down the big spiritual questions of life." -- Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love

Dani Shapiro, the acclaimed author of the novel Black and White and the New York Times bestselling memoir Inheritance has written a searching and timeless new memoir that examines the fundamental questions that wake women in the middle of the night, and grapples with the ways faith, prayer, and devotion affect everyday life. Devotion is sure to appeal to all those dealing with the trials and tribulations of what Carl Jung called "the afternoon of life."


"Devotion's biggest triumph is its voice: funny and unpretentious, concrete and earthy -- appealing to skeptics and believers alike. This is a gripping, beautiful story." -- Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer prize winning author of The Candy House

"An insightful and penetrating memoir that readers will instantly identify with... Absorbing, intimate, direct and profound... a satisfying journey." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review


"Shapiro's journey is a deeply reflective one, and her struggles are as complex as they are insightful, philosophical, and universally human." -- Booklist, starred review


"Eloquently told and unflinchingly honest." -- Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle

"Dani Shapiro's novels and nonfiction are always rich in honesty and intelligence, about the psyche and lost hearts and families, about messes and shame and what calls us to transcend." -- Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author of Grace (Eventually)

"Beautiful, wry and moving." -- Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of Away
