| Sumario: | "This is a woman's answer to Augustine's Confessions. The narrator gives birth to her daughter and finds she has given birth to a new self. But this conversion to the new life of motherhood demands other conversions, further births, newer selves. As she struggles with the thorny issues of modern parenthood-raising a white child in a world of racism, a daughter in a world of patriarchy, and a religious child in a religiously divided home-the author finds herself reflecting on some of the oldest questions of humankind: How does the world reveal God to us? How do we live well in a world of suffering? Why are we tempted to betray our love?"-- |
