BOOK SYNOPSIS
I became riveted by Steinke's tone, a steady, lovely, hallowed, patient, things-in-themselves hum[Easter Everywhere is] a delicately wrought little volumeThis is a beautiful book. New York Times Book Review
In this critically beloved and piercing memoir, Darcey Steinke, a ministers daughter, recounts her lifelong struggle to find religion. Though wide-eyed and accepting as a girl, Steinke left the faith in her teenage years; scene by breathtaking scene, she vividly describes the angst, embarrassment, uncertainty, and joy of her decades of on-and-off piety. Emotional, wise, and beautifully crafted, Easter Everywhere is a rare literary accomplishment, a feat of storytelling and personal insight.
