Phosphorescence: A Memoir of Finding Joy When Your World Goes Dark

Book overview Description Editorial Reviews “Both timeless and timely, this is a book of wisdom and wonder” (Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of March), a deeply personal exploration of what can sustain us through our darkest moments."What has fascinated and sustained me over these last few years has been the notion that we have the ability to find, nurture, and carry our own inner, living light—-a light to ward off the darkness.

This is not about burning brightly; it’’s about yielding a more simple phosphorescence—being luminous, having stored light for later use.

Staying alive, remaining upright, even when lashed by doubt.”
