REVIEWS "I read it straight through. I'm not confident that I even breathed while reading it. The novel is a wonder! Formally, literarily, and spiritually, it's just staggering. Wise and absorbing. Reading LITTLE HOURS, I had the all too rare experience of losing the self-conscious awareness that I was reading; I was, instead, simply and suddenly placed in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar to me. What a gift." - Lauren F. Winner , author of Girl Meets God "What characters they are: finely drawn, indelibly comic, charming, irascible, forbidding, wise. And foolish, as we all are, in most compelling, most believable, ways. Beautiful writing and penetrating intelligence . . . [reminding us] sometimes wayward paths end up being the surest." - Carlene Bauer , author of Frances and Bernard "Gorgeously written. Lil Copan 's luminous new book will do wonders for your soul." - James Martin , author of Building a Bridge " Little Hours is immediately funny, intimate, and soul-tending. From the first exchange of letters, you love the women writing them. You realize that their questions, desires, and temptations are your own, so you hang on every word, waiting to learn and grow along with these beautiful characters. This book is so true, and so gentle and loving in its truth telling." - Vinita Hampton Wright , author of Velma Still Cooks in Leeway BOOK DESCRIPTION When Miriam-restless, and longing for something she cannot name-picks up a copy of Sister Bird's Guide to Small Bir
