“Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” -Chicago Tribune From the bestselling
author of Help, Thanks, Wow comes an inspiring guide to restoring
hope and joy in our lives. In Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores
the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture
the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that
seem increasingly bleak? As bad newspiles up—from climate crises to
daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where, she asks, “do
we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life
itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers,
poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?” We begin, Lamott
says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. Drawing from
her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we
can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light
of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. As she does in Help,
Thanks, Wow and her other bestselling books, Lamott explores the
thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable,
human-sized questions for readers to ponder, in the process showing us
how we can amplify life's small moments of joy by staying open to love
and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, “I got
Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something
an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless
me.” Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson,
Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn't a function
of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. Full of the honesty,
humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of
readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott—thoughtful and
comic, warm and wise—and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to
the better angels in all of us.
