Devotion: A Memoir

by Dani Shapiro

Never Simple

by Liz Scheier

On the Ledge: A Memoir

by Amy Turner

The Leaving Season: A Memoir

by Kelly McMasters

These writers have beautifully made meaning from the stuff of life. They combine intellect with emotion, and have helped me see deeper layers of what we experience in grief, loss, being daughters and mothers and wives — and women in this world. They marry reflection with the everyday, and weave together contemplation and brilliant story-telling.
