God is present to us in ways too numerous to count. Unfortunately, we are often so busy that we fail to recognize and respond to this active presence. A Catholic Woman’s Book of Days offers daily meditations that clear a spiritual place—a time in our day when we can set our hearts on God. The meditations are brief, pointed, direct, and personal—and will connect you to God’s word and the Catholic faith.

I was a bit disappointed in this book. I found it difficult to understand the way she dealt with her grief. The last thing I think I would wish to do after the death of my husband is run to another country attempting to "right the ship" so to speak. Everyone griefs differently and I don't believe she gave her children their individual time to do so. A dissapointment since I have enjoyed her previous works.

I wanted this book because I've read other writings by Amy Welborn and appreciate her style. I was disappointed; yet my dissatisfaction with this book may be purely personal. It reads very much like I often felt in the early days following my husband's death. It is disconnected, wandering, questioning, and filled with confusion. All of which can easily be expected from a young wife and mother experiencing a traumatic loss. While I am so grateful for the understanding that we all grieve differently and I am hopeful this book will touch the hearts of many in her situation, it just didn't work for me. Maybe too Roman Catholic, yet I valued her theological questioning and finds. Just too hard to follow. As much as I hate to admit it, because it sounds so judgmental and I don't think any of us has a right to tell another how to grieve, I just didn't like being privy to those early feelings. Again, her language is quite lovely and she is a good writer, but this book did not work for me. I await the day when I will find "just the person" who needs it.… (altro)

I got this book as an Advanced Review Copy. I wanted to like "Wish You Were Here." I liked the premise of a new widow who leaves Alabama and takes 3 of her children to Sicily for an extended vacation in order to get away from all the reminders of her beloved husband, and to give her children and herself time and space to grieve. However, I didn't like the book. While the family traveled from site to site, and experienced new things, it was relentlessly religious, and the author, Amy Welborn kept ruminating on her husband's death. Too theological, and frankly, too depressing to finish. I read 3/4 of this book over a long period, and finally just gave up.… (altro)
