“Read it and laugh. Read it and weep. Read it and grow. This is a flat-out fabulous book!”—Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

“O’Reilley builds a narrative in short essays that focus on a midlife turning point. A certain amount of humor creeps in: Buddhist monks accuse her of animal abuse for giving beer to slugs in the vegetable garden. … We are given a range of meditative approaches to social and individual change from a bright fellow traveler.”—Sandy Primm, St. Louis Post Dispatch

“I was entranced, amused and educated by Mary Rose O’Reilley’s beautifully written spiritual memoir.”—Mary Anne Grossmann, St. Paul Pioneer Press

“There was no putting it down. Four readings later I still can’t. … What she has rendered is experience embraced with such fervor, verve and grace that she leaves me, at least, with only one request: keep on going, and write for us what happens next.”—Susan Gardner, Women’s Review of Books

“It is all incredibly serious, wonderfully funny, full of the texture of being alive.”—Paul A. Lacey, author of Growing into Goodness
