This was not an uplifting Lenten meditation. However, instead I found a really well done family story about the aforementioned man, his 70-something widowed mother, his daughter who is both approaching her 16th birthday and the birth of her baby, his ex-wife, and other various and assorted people who he disappoints daily. Told with humor and heart, it was a very heartwarming read, though not a faith-affirming one.
