Description
These essays are a poignant reminder that some things cannot be fixed but can still hold immense beauty and meaning.
All her life, Marie O'Rourke has been a Good Girl, a perfectionist, using words to apply golden seams to an imperfect life in an attempt to make something beautiful out of things that are flawed or broken. A volatile father, the death of a sister far too young, a faltering marriage, the ghosts of lovers past—these are just some of the fragments that Marie puts together again in these essays that explore her closest relationships as a daughter, sister, mother, wife, and lover.
With exquisite prose, Marie reflects on the beauty of brokenness and the ways in which time can transform our understanding of truth, forgiveness, and healing. These essays are a poignant reminder that some things cannot be fixed but can still hold immense beauty and meaning.
Whether you've experienced similar struggles or are seeking a deeper understanding of the human experience, Marie's collection will leave you moved and inspired.
