Morning Has Broken: Uncommon Grace in an Ordinary Family

Morning Has Broken: Uncommon Grace in an Ordinary Family is a memoir about finding personal meaning and peace in spite of family chaos due to a troubled son, marital distress, career problems and serious illness. The chaos almost causes the family — especially the writer — to implode. But in the end, as everything she thought was necessary for a satisfying life is either threatened or stripped away, she finds a place inside herself where nothing is wrong and everything is as it is supposed to be. This becomes her moment of grace, when she realizes that she is "enough" without any improvements and that every imperfect or difficult moment becomes sacred through acceptance. Ultimately, Morning Has Broken: Uncommon Grace in an Ordinary Family is about the miracle of being happy.

Abstract

Morning Has Broken: Uncommon Grace in an Ordinary Family is a memoir about finding personal meaning and peace in spite of family chaos due to a troubled son, marital distress, career problems and serious illness. The chaos almost causes the family — especially the writer — to implode. But in the end, as everything she thought was necessary for a satisfying life is either threatened or stripped away, she finds a place inside herself where nothing is wrong and everything is as it is supposed to be. This becomes her moment of grace, when she realizes that she is "enough" without any improvements and that every imperfect or difficult moment becomes sacred through acceptance. Ultimately, Morning Has Broken: Uncommon Grace in an Ordinary Family is about the miracle of being happy.
