Why read it?
1 author picked Night's Bright Darkness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sally shares an autobiographical account of her turning from atheism to Catholicism, revealing through her narration a relationship between herself and God. The shape that distance takes in this memoir is illusive in a way, for the God that Sally eschewed had been calling to her for years.

From J.'s list on close relationships despite distance.
