Hosszú leírás:
Urgent, meditative, and searching, Thank You for Staying with Me is a collection of essays that navigates the complexities of home, the vulnerability of being a woman, mother-daughter relationships, and young motherhood in the conservative and religious landscape of the Ozarks. Using cosmology as a foil to discuss human issues, Bailey Gaylin Moore describes praying to the sky during moments of despondency, observing a solar eclipse while reflecting on what it means to be in the penumbra of society, and using galaxy identification to understand herself. During a collision of women’s rights, gun policy, and racial tension, Thank You for Staying with Me is a frank and intimate rumination on how national policy and social attitudes affect both the individual and the public sphere, especially in such a conservative part of the United States.
 

“Thank You for Staying with Me isn’t just a great book; it is a necessary one. Bailey Gaylin Moore’s writing is as powerful as writing the hard truth gets. She grew up in the Ozarks, a conservative part of this country, but what happened to her there could have happened anywhere—and does. I was bowled over by the immediacy of her prose and moved by the magical grace of her blessings. This is astonishing writing.”—Abigail Thomas, New York Times best-selling author of What Comes Next and How to Like It
