Redeemed: Stumbling Toward God, Sanity, and the Peace That Passes All Understanding Paperback - 2009

by Heather King

As someone who never believ[ed] in much of anything, King found herself in the last place she expected: the Catholic Church. This profound, fervent, darkly funny tale recounts an ongoing conversion by a Catholic, who, however devout, is far from saintlike.

Summary

After decades of living on the edge, Heather King settled into sobriety, marriage, and a financially lucrative but unfulfilling career as an upwardly mobile lawyer. As someone who had reached middle age "never believing in much of anything,"she found herself in the last place she thought she'd end up: the Catholic Church. An unforgettable, fervent, darkly funny tale of an ongoing, stumbling conversion, Redeemed will appeal to fans of Lauren Winner's Girl Meets God and Anne Lamott's writing. King's refreshing sense of humor, mesmerizing voice, and piercing honesty will touch readers whatever their beliefs.
