Book Launch: LAURETTA HANNON-Writer/Humorist/Speaker/Consultant
About this Event
"Lauretta Hannon is the funniest woman in Georgia...Great inspiration for your next book club meeting." —Southern Living
In this era of unprecedented division and distraction, we've lost the ability to recognize the goodness all around us. But it doesn't have to be that way. From the acclaimed author of The Cracker Queen: A Memoir of a Jagged, Joyful Life comes a cheeky spiritual memoir with an audacious message of hope. In this collection of stories, Hannon shows that joy can arise from the deepest abyss; that everyone is designed with purpose and hardwired for restoration; and that love and peace are entirely warranted—and possible. This is because grace abounds where we often miss it: in the grittiness of life.
Consider this book as a bit of story medicine for fraught times. A tonic that will actually make you feel better. And though it openly rebels against our collective despair, it never sugarcoats reality. The humor and the heartbreak flow in equal measure. The book ends with an instruction manual on how to become a "Real Radical" in a groaning world. This guide aims to point you to a place of personal peace, good cheer, and loving perspective—no matter what. Born from a supernatural encounter in a Waffle House, this is ostensibly astory of the author's eventual, fitful, and comical conversion to Catholicism. But it is more than that. It is part tender meditation, part war cry, and a rollicking good time for readers of any faith or no faith.
"Lauretta Hannon has a rare gift for finding grace exactly where life feels most human: messy, funny, tender, and true. Her stories are not sermons; they are story medicine, offered with wit, compassion, and an unflinching eye for the holy hiding in plain sight." —Lisa C. Williams, author and philanthropist
