In Small Mercies, 50-something Nancy Jo Sullivan reflects on her life to this point--which includes the death of one of her daughters and a painful divorce--and discovers with great joy that God has been, and continues to be, everywhere. From her grandmother's not-so-tasty date cookies, to a dog that seems bent on attacking her while she's out for a jog, to a kitchen-table conversation with her daughter about muscles and their functions, Sullivan gives us every reason to expect God to show up in the most unexpected ways.
