Shauna Niequist, a Christian author, collects essays about learning from the hard experiences in life. She writes about her work in the kitchen, her family, a miscarriage, friendship, changes in her career, and times of doubt. The title refers to the mix of good and bad in a life, and she writes that the difficult seasons often bring something good, for those willing to let go of control. Each essay ends with a recipe, since cooking and hosting guests are central to how she thinks about love.
It suits readers who like warm, personal reflections on faith, and anyone who enjoys cookbooks mixed with memoir. Those going through a transition will find gentle company and some practical dishes to try.
Inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
