Now many of those early stories and essays (most of which first appeared in Guideposts ) are collected in one volume, organized around thirteen spiritual motifs. In Firstlight , Kidd charts her emergence as a writer and seeker; reflects on her roles as wife, mother, daughter, nurse, and artist; and assesses what she has learned in settings as far-flung as Africa and her own home. The result is an intimate, uplifting book, filled with moments of recognition and discovery.
