Alice McDermott
Host:
Child of My Heart (Farrar, Straus & Giroux)
An unusually tender conversation with Alice McDermott about grace, imagined here as the act of putting others before oneself. This book, which seems to be about a childhood rite of passage, is actually about memory, devotion and the building of a shrine to a personal saint.
