The journey begins with Maloy's return to her Quaker faith and proceeds through a series of spiritual risks that lead her to her soul mate and her true home. To tell her story fully, Maloy must look through changed eyes at her past - at childhood anxieties, family disaffection, failed marriages, late motherhood, restless boredom, and, paradoxically, a talent for joy. She learns that she has been guided by faith even when she thought she had none. She begins to discern purpose and design both in her stories and in the light by which she sees them - a light refracted through a Quaker lens that searches for the sacred in all people. As the four seasons turn, Maloy celebrated the loves of her new life - family, friends, language, silence, and the extraordinary landscape of Vermont."--BOOK JACKET.
