Description: Lamott’s recently released book Grace (Eventually) (2007) has been described as the work of a wiser, mellower Lamott, whose revelations, she claims, are no longer driven by anger or frustration, but a coming to terms with aging. She explains, “As my best friend said when she was dying, and I was obsessing about my butt, ‘You just don’t have that kind of time…’ Oh, well. Grace is not something I DO, or can chase down; but it is something I can receive, when I stop trying to be in charge.” On Grace (Eventually), the Los Angeles Times writes, “There’s no one quite like Anne Lamott… She manages to suggest that she’s your ally, the funny best friend who knows instinctively that you’ve had these troubles, too. And perhaps that’s why readers continue to find something fresh in everything she has to say.”
