| Summary |
Circling Faith is a collection of essays by southern women that encompasses spirituality and the experience of winding through the religiously charged environment of the American South. Mary Karr, in & ldquo;Facing Altars, & rdquo; describes how the consolation she found in poetry directed her to a similar solace in prayer. In & ldquo;Chiaroscuro: Shimmer and Shadow, & rdquo; Susan Cushman recounts how her dissatisfaction with a Presbyterian upbringing led her to hold her own worship services at home and eventually to join the Eastern Orthodox Church. & ldquo;Magic & rdquo; by Amy Blackmarr depicts. |
