Warm, witty and achingly honest, The Minister's Wife is a memoir in essays on choosing to belong.
“In this winsome memoir, Karen Stiller hospitably welcomes us into her life as a minister’s wife, courageously revealing struggles and challenges all of us will recognize, even if we don’t live in similar fishbowls of scrutiny. With humor and transparency, Karen names aloud the kinds of thoughts, doubts, and failures we’re often reluctant to confess, and she gently reminds us that we share this ordinary and rare, messy and grace-filled life together. What a gift.”
SHARON GARLOUGH BROWN, author of the Sensible Shoes and Shades of Light series
