  Rebecca Sue : A Sister s Reflections On Disability, Faith, And Love

  $25.99

  A New Memoir from New York Times Bestselling Author Kathleen Norris

  “My sister Rebecca had perinatal hypoxia, but I knew and loved her as my little sister long before I heard that term applied to her. As Becky became a toddler our parents noted that her development was not like that of my older brother and myself. But that mattered less to all of us than the fact that we enjoyed the company of a lively little person, who in an atmosphere of familial love and support was developing a strong personality.”

  Discover the untold story behind one of Kathleen Norris’s deeply personal relationships in Rebecca Sue. Best known for her insightful and poignant reflections on faith and life, Norris steps into uncharted territory by sharing an intimate memoir exploring the life of her younger sister Becky. Born with perinatal hypoxia, Becky’s life was shaped by physical and mental disabilities, yet her spirit and resilience illuminate the hidden power of faith, family, and love.

  With Norris’s signature blend of poetic prose, spiritual reflection, and heartfelt storytelling, Rebecca Sue invites readers into a profoundly moving narrative. This isn’t just a memoir; it’s a tender tribute to Becky’s intelligence, her struggles, and her extraordinary ability to inspire those around her. Through Becky, Norris examines the strength of familial bonds, the complexity of emotional and practical caregiving, and the myriad ways God works in our lives–seen and unseen.

  Noonday Demon : A Modern Woman’s Struggle With Soulweariness

  $15.99

  Kathleen Norris had written several much-loved books, yet she couldn’t drag herself out of bed in the morning or summon the energy for daily tasks. Even as she struggled, Norris recognized her familiar battle with acedia. She had discovered the word in an early Church text when she was in her thirties, and instantly recognized herself in a passage describing the affliction as sinking into a state of being unable to care. Fascinated by this ‘noonday demon’ so familiar to the early Church, Norris read intensively and knew she must restore this forgotten but utterly important concept to the modern world’s vernacular. As Kathleen explains, ‘restless boredom, frantic escapism, commitment phobia, and enervating despair that we struggle with today are the ancient demon of acedia in modern dress.’
