The Lively Anatomy of God

Nancy Willard

1968

The stories in Nancy Willard's first book are about how the life of the imagination dwells in and shapes reality. "Faith takes root in the insignificant," says one of her narrators. And further: "...the faith we have gathered from generations of Sundays was no match for this greater faith in the reality of darkness." This author's first book proved to be the beginning of a distinguished career.
