"I look to Scott for wisdom and leadership and he has delivered both with Big Love. This book opened my heart and mind and I'm forever grateful." Glennon Doyle, author of #1 New York Timesbestseller Love Warrior What happens when you fully commit yourself to love? Endless good, insists Scott Stabile, who found that out by overcoming plenty of bad. His parents were murdered when he was fourteen. Nine years later, his brother died of a heroin overdose. Soon after that, Scott joined a cult that dominated his life for thirteen years before he summoned the courage to walk away. In Big Love, his insightful and refreshingly honest collection of personal essays, Scott relates these profound experiences as well as everyday struggles and triumphs in ways that are universally applicable, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny. Whether silencing shame, rebounding after failure, or moving forward despite fears, Scott shares hard-won insights that consistently return readers to love, both of themselves and others.
peacegypsyHealing is a fascinating subject. I wrote my master‘s thesis in English on “The Healing Narrative in the Twentieth Century War Novel.” The premise discusses examining how more contemporary war literature focuses on healing instead of the gore of war. I attributed that to the inclusion of indigenous literature into the war canon, focusing especially on N. Scott Momaday‘s House Made of Dawn. That was such a fun summer! 😃7y
