Almost Everything : Notes on Hope

After the recent slew of violent acts and the “are you with us or against us?” political line-drawing, Anne Lamott has delivered the exact medicine for what ails us: Notes on Hope. In her characteristically funny and unflinching way—one that gets right to the heart of every matter and then chooses love—Lamott works through her own anger and despair at the current state of affairs and ultimately finds hope. Divided into short, wonderful chapters, this book helps talk us all off the ledge and see that we have much more in common than not—and all that with lots of love and humor.
