And then, every so often, something stops us cold. A lilting ballad. A painting in the museum we almost skipped. A friend who holds fast to joy and grace at the absolute edge of everything.

"Lovely... approachable... poetic." — 4 out of 5 stars, Foreword Clarion Reviews
"I couldn't put it down. A profound read — and I say that with no hyperbole. It spoke to something missing in me that I cannot verbalize yet." — Bonnie Lieberman, Mom and School Board President
We move through our days half-awake — rushing past the poppies, skipping the concert, ducking in out of the rain and missing the experience waiting around the corner. And then, every so often, something stops us cold. A lilting ballad. A painting in the museum we almost skipped. A friend who holds fast to joy and grace at the absolute edge of everything. In those moments, we remember what it feels like to be fully, achingly alive.

Wonder is a sanctuary for those moments — and an invitation to see them in the middle of our busy, over-scheduled lives.
