A Journal of My Son’s First Year

It’s not like she’s the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors survived and thrived in that important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a woman’s life.

CROOKED LITTLE HEART

Rosie Ferguson, in the first bloom of young womanhood, is obsessed with tournament tennis. Her mother is a recovering alcoholic still grieving the death of her first husband; her stepfather, a struggling writer, is wrestling with his own demons. And now Rosie finds that her athletic gifts, once a source of triumph and escape, place her in peril, as a shadowy man who stalks her from the bleachers is developing an obsession of his own.

TRAVELING MERCIES

Some Thoughts on Faith

Traveling Mercies explains how Anne Lamott came to have the big-hearted, grateful, generous faith that she so often alludes to in her writing. The people in Anne Lamott’s real life are like beloved characters in a favorite series for her readers—her friend Pammy, her son Sam, and the many funny and wise folks who attend her church are all familiar. Lamott’s faith isn’t about easy answers, which endears her to believers as well as nonbelievers. Against all odds, she comes to believe in God and then, even more miraculously, in herself.
