Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Nothing happens, and everything happens, in this seemingly quiet novel where Amy Smiley takes us deep into the emotional bond between three people-a mother, her son, and his babysitter-and follows each of them through a period of growth, from one spring to the next, until they are able to step out into the world more freely, with nature as their guide.With its subtle focus on the inner life, Amy Smiley's prose conveys the beneficial power of reverie, teaching us that we need more of it, to help us each find meaning in our lives. Written under the star of motherhood, Hiking Underground is an exquisite meditation on the interplay of nurture, connection, and creativity. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Now in paperback, Pulitzer-winning novelist Jane Smiley's first nonfiction volume on writing since 2005's best-selling Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel. "Smiley gives educators, readers, and writers much to discuss. Highly recommended." --Library Journal, starred review "Line for line, Smiley delivers such clear, vibrant, precise prose--handed forth as calmly and equitably as an ice cream cone, even when she's incensed--that a reader feels smarter just taking it in." --The Boston Globe Long acclaimed as one of America's preeminent novelists, Jane Smiley is also an exquisite observer of the craft of writing. In The Questions That Matter Most this Pulitzer Prize-winning writer offers penetrating essays on some of the aesthetic and cultural issues that mark any serious engagement with reading and writing. Beginning with a personal introduction tracing Smiley's migration from Iowa to California, the author reflects on her findings in the varied literature of the Golden State, whose writers have for decades pondered the West's contested legacies of racism, class conflict, and sexual politics. As she considers the ambiguity of character and the weight of history, her essays provide fresh entry points into literature, and we lucky readers can see how Smiley draws inspiration from across the literary spectrum to invigorate her own writing. With enthusiasm and meticulous attention, Smiley dives beneath surface-level interpretations to examine the works of Marguerite de Navarre, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Franz Kafka, Halldór Laxness, and Jessica Mitford. Throughout, Smiley seeks to think harder and, in her words, with "more clarity and nuance" about the questions that matter most.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One of my reasons for writing this book is for me to receive healing. My vision is that people all over the world will read it and it would bring hope to someone. My desired outcome through these pages is for hearts to be touched. Maybe others could understand that after all the choices and the pain, Jesus loves them unconditionally. As I began to reach out for help to change my life, I saw life through a different lens. Because of my new view, some of the layers of pain began to fall away, and some of the walls of trust began to come down slowly. The biggest struggle has always been me desiring something more. There was a void that was missing from the inside of me--love. I had never received love the way God had intended it and because of that, I had nothing to measure love by.…
