Gather the Fragments: My Year of Finding God's Love

I enjoyed her openness.

Maureen O'Brien's "Gather the Fragments: My Year of Finding God's Love" is a vivid, honest, and touching read. Her book is beautifully written. Her book is inspiring. Maureen's candor about her personal struggles is striking, as is her gratitude and optimism. Her descriptions of people, places and events that have affected her are vivid, touching, and inspiring. Inspiring, too, are the messages about her deep faith and the role her faith has played in her salvation and in her joy. Readers are certain to feel that inspiration and joy in reading Maureen's collection of lovely, moving essays.

I was walking my dog thru the local cemetery and came across a jar with a string of lights in it. The following day I saw the advertisement for this book. I was raised in the Catholic Church and attended Catholic school year for 12 years. It has been difficult to defend the faith over the past couple of decades even though I continue to have a deep faith. This book is beautifully written and spells out how fragments and miracles are around us everyday if just take the time to recognize them. Thanks to Maureen for sharing her story of her journey over the one-year period. It was easy to read and to relate to. My faith is stronger for it and I look forward to hearing more from this author.

*Highly recommend this item!

Realization is half of the solution and this book helps us to find it.
