Through her own story of midlife upheaval, the author of the beloved Mitten Strings for God invites mothers to rediscover the wonder of ordinary days with their families as they approach the 'letting go' that comes with raising teenagers.
Katrina Kenison is the author of Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry (Warner Books, 2000). She has appeared on Oprah and other shows and her writing has appeared in O, Real Simple, Family Circle, Redbook, Better Homes and Gardens, Health and others.
"Kenison writes so beautifully and clearly about what is most
important in family life."--Jane Hamilton, author of A Map of the
World and Laura Rider's Masterpiece
"With an honesty and intimacy rarely achieved in modern memoir,
Katrina Kenison dissolves yearning into its complex, sensate parts.
This is a book about mid-life want and loss. It is also a most
knowing book about a most gracious love-about the gifts that are
returned to those who find beauty where it falls."--Beth Kephart,
author, House of Dance
This eloquent book is subtitled "A Mother's Memoir," but that's not
giving Kenison's chronicle of her sons' increasing independence its
full due. It's also about longing and fulfillment, taking stock of
failures and achievements, a search for the elusive "something
more" of one's existence-and a reminder that life's seemingly
mundane moments are often where we find beauty, grace and
transformation.--Family Circle magazine
