Nevada Barr: Seeking Enlightenment - Hat by Hat (USA 2003) From the Publisher: "There have been mary Sunday morning the only reason I attended church was to wear a particularly wonderful hat. I had come across in the dusty back room of Grandma's Attic. Usually these Sundays, the ones when sloth, busyness, an distraction made me want to stay home, were the very days I most needed to be among the community, singing and praying and thinking on, what really matters." "I chose the Episcopal church over a temple, mosque, or churches inhabited by Presbyterians, Catholics, or Baptists because it was close to my apartment and, the evening the whim came upon me to turn to God, the front doors were unlocked. I didn't come to worship. I came because I was lonely, frightened, and desperately unhappy." The author of the New York Times-bestselling Anna Pigeon mystery series beckons readers to share her spiritual search for meaning in life. During her years as an actor, a writer, an adventuress, a nonbeliever, and a seaker of truth and amusement, Nevada Barr has been cursed and blessed with the question of "Why?" Although the things she wanted to know were mostly in the realm of the unknowable, she sought answers through reading, thinking, and talking -- looking out-ward for signs and truths. But she found that while her quest for meaning provided inspiration, it afforded little in the way of proof. Then she began to look inward for answers. Seeking Enlightenment... Hat by Hat is the beguiling story of her journey from arrogance and atheism toward humility and a sense of being part of something greater than herself. Hat by hat, step by step, Barr leads readers down her path to enlightenment by sharing personal episodes, some of them funny and revealing, others painfully honest. Each chapter offers a truth or an answer forged through experience and deep reflection, and a nugget of insight certain to encourage thought and discussion among readers, who may, in turn, find their own spiritual language. NEVADA BARR is the author of eleven Anna Pigeon novels, including the recent bestsellers Flashback and Hunting Season. She lives in Mississippi. Nevada Barr: Seeking Enlightenment - Hat by Hat. A Skeptic's Path to Religion. Putnam's, ISBN: 0399150579 (June, 2003), 222 p., $21.95.
