About this listen

The New York Times bestseller from the author of Help, Thanks, Wow, Hallelujah Anyway, Almost Everything, and Dusk, Night, Dawn.

Anne Lamott writes about faith, family, and community in essays that are both wise and irreverent. It's an approach that has become her trademark. Now in Small Victories, Lamott offers a new message of hope that celebrates the triumph of light over the darkness in our lives. Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change us--our perceptions, our perspectives, and our lives. Lamott writes of forgiveness, restoration, and transformation, how we can turn toward love even in the most hopeless situations, how we find the joy in getting lost and our amazement in finally being found.

Profound and hilarious, honest and unexpected, the stories in Small Victories are proof that the human spirit is irrepressible.

Critic reviews

'Lamott is one in a million... Hers is an inimitable mix of irreverence and deep-down holy wisdom. Her wit is so sharp, her synapses fire so quickly, she deftly connects the dots and vaults across the spiritual landscape like nobody else ...' (Chicago Tribune)

'Lamott is funny, witty and irreverent ... Her basic message is love and forgiveness...Not a bad message for any faith.' (The Denver Post)

'An essay collection that tackles tough subjects with sensitive and unblinking honesty .. .Lamott is refreshingly frank ... [and] has the rare ability to weave bracing humor seamlessly with earnest, Christian faith.' (Publishers Weekly)
