First Light: The Early Inspirational Writings 

by Sue Monk Kidd

As writers, we all have those first drafts or early writings that inspired us to go further, dig deeper and inspire us. Spiral bound notebooks on a shelf. Sue Monk Kidd explores the themes in her early writings, little jewels strung together for the reader to ponder how they relate to their own lives.   

Sue Monk Kidd’s works are full of powerful imagery, life lessons and musings. In these writings, time slows down to enjoy the snowfall, stand with grit and find that inner silence and solitude.

Sue Monk Kidd writes, "When we share our inner stories, we allow others to enter our lives and partake of our deepest truths. We discover that we share the same joys and tragedies, the same ambiguities and struggles. In the end we are all one story."

Her writing is thoughtful, provoking, and compassionate as meditates on faith, life, love, silence, solitude and grace.
