From the bestselling author of The Red Tent and Good Harbor, a
collection of intimate, autobiographical reflections on the milestones,
revelations, and balancing acts of life as a wife, mother, friend, and
member of a religious community.
Before The Red Tent won her international literary acclaim, Anita
Diamant was a columnist in Boston. Over the course of twenty years,
she wrote essays that reflected the shape and evolution of her life, as
well as the trends of her generation. In the end, her musings about love
and marriage, birth and death, nature versus nurture, politics and
religion--and everything from female friendships to quitting
smoking--have created a public diary of the progress of her life that
resonated deeply with her readers. Now, Pitching My Tent collects the
finest columns of a writer who is a reporter by training and a
storyteller by heart, all revised and enriched with new material.
Personal, inspiring, and often funny, Pitching My Tent displays the
warmth, humor, and wisdom that Diamant's legions of fans have come to
cherish.
