Lanier Ivester

FROM SARAH:

Oh my, I gasped when I first got my hands on this book—it's that beautiful. One of our RAR team members described it this way: "Whether you’re facing this Advent with great anticipation or overwhelming grief, Glad & Golden Hours will prove a sweet companion for the season. A collection of wisdom infused with beauty and grace that I’ll return to year after year!"

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Tangible acts of feasting and celebrating have suffused Lanier Ivester's home all her life. But alongside her love of festivity, she's wrestled with profound losses that have reshaped the landscape-both around her and within her.

These coexisting forces of great grief and great joy come together in a place called the Ruff House, where Ivester's story (lavishly illustrated by Jennifer Trafton) not only reminds us of the inescapable presence of sorrow but shows us how to celebrate and anticipate the return of glad and golden hours in the midst of it.
