‘Honest, gracious and generous.’

Archbishop Sarah Mullally


‘This book provides a beautiful, helpful and thought-provoking reflection on how to respond when life’s fragility throws up challenges we never imagined could exist.’

Paula Gooder


‘Read this book if you’ve ever wondered where God is or what God is up to in amongst the twists and turns of life, grief and the plans we have to make and unmake every day.’

Lucy Winkett

Sharing some of the most challenging threads from her own life and those of her family – including unexpected and potentially derailing encounters with atypical autism, divorce, unemployment, the death of a close friend, and a diagnosis of cancer – Rosemary Lain-Priestley reflects with wisdom and elegance on where we might experience most clearly the presence of God in the gritty realities of daily life. Each chapter includes questions to prompt your own personal reflection on finding and recognising grace.

Rosemary Lain-Priestley is a writer, priest and Adviser to the Bishop of London. She is married to Antony, and they have three children and a spaniel. She loves poetry, novels, cinema, art and TV dramas, exploring the world and walking the dog on Hampstead Heath.
