Description
Raised in a benevolently agnostic family, Margaret Wurtele embraced Christianity as an adult. What unfolds in "Taking Root" are her reflections on the wisdom of some of our spiritual predecessors, such as Egeria and Julian of Norwich, Augustine, and Dorothy Day. Month by month, she also reflects on the passing of the seasons, both in the garden and in the liturgical calendar.
