"A narrative composed of brutal honesty, tenderness, and an aching
love for God. I could not put it down." --Sue Monk Kidd, author of
"The Secret Life of Bees"
In the middle of her life, acclaimed memoirist Beverly Donofrio
thought she'd found a safe haven in a beautiful town in
Mexico--until she was awakened in her bed by a rapist. As she
writes in this fierce, unflinching account: "This was not supposed
to happen. I was supposed to have escaped: I had hot flashes and
liver spots and was in the final stretch."
Here Donofrio wrestles with anger toward her attacker and
toward life, yet realizes her despair is not unlike that of other
friends who are struggling with grave illnesses, loss of jobs,
deaths of loved ones. Hoping to heal from trauma, Donofrio turns to
prayer while journeying to five very different monasteries. A
testimony to how anyone who is broken can move away from fear and
anger toward grace, "Astonished" will not only be read and shared
by fans of Donofrio's previous books, but also by anyone who hopes
to be inspired by Donofrio's strength and her search for faith,
healing, and identity.
