I love Anne Lamott and have read everything she's written, but somehow missed Crooked Little Heart, until now.
It is the story of thirteen year old Rosie Ferguson, a gifted tennis player, just on the verge of adolescence, whose father died when she was four years old.
Lamott writes with such heart and honesty, at times it is almost painful to read. She explores the vulnerability of the human heart, and all the sadness, grief and fear we can feel when we are brave enough to love each other deeply.
She also finds small miracles in day to day life, and in nature as grand as mountains and as small as tidepools. This is Lamott at her best.
