Despair and uncertainty surround us: in the news, in our families, and in ourselves. But even when life is at its bleakest--when we are, as she puts it, \"doomed, stunned, exhausted, and over-caffeinated\"--the seeds of rejuvenation are at hand. \"All truth is paradox,\" Lamott writes, \"and this turns out to be a reason for hope. If you arrive at a place in life that is miserable, it will change.\" That is the time when we must pledge not to give up but \"to do what Wendell Berry wrote: 'Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.'\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this profound and funny book, Lamott calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined.
