An interesting memoir of faith by a woman who is the chaplain of the Main Game Warden Service. I only read this because it was a book club selection. Other members of the club found a deeper connection and enjoyed the book far more than I did.

Very interesting story about a woman who becomes a minister and helps with search & rescue cases. The main character is a strong woman who puts her life back together after tragedy.
This was just the sweet book I needed.
Yes, it was about death. That's OK. The author made it loving and kind.
I was touched by the way Kate prepared Drew's body for cremation.
"Thank God for the blessing of breaking hearts,
the blessing of mourning,
the blessing of being, and
the blessing of being in love."

I hate reading books that are a waste of time.
This is a true story of a woman who becomes a Warden Minister (someone they call to comfort the family when a relative is lost in the woods), because her husband, who is killed in a traffic accident, was going to become one.
She wasn't religious at all (her husband was somewhat), and she explained this to all of her professors as she studied religion. IF she is called out and finds out the family is atheist, she is able to put them at ease, because she doesn't have anything to force onto them.
The book is about nothing. And she doesn't even tell that many experiences of being there if anyone needs her.

This was interesting, but I feel like I got all I needed to know about this book from her appearance on the NPR show On Being, and I sort of regret buying the book and reading it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special, either.
I checked this audiobook out of the local library. I wasn't sure how I would like it(the format and the content) I think this is the second audiobook I have ever used. I think that I liked it partly because of her voice, and I think that if I had read the book I would have gotten bored with the story. Anyway, interesting story, found out tidbits that I would have never know about Maine and the warden service.
Wow. I can't imagine dealing with widowhood with much more grace than this lady.
