What's your story?

I carried one book with me across the country on a recent trip, Phyllis Tickle’s The Shaping of a Life: A Spiritual Landscape. 

I stuffed it in the airplane carry-on with the children’s coloring books. I read it by cell phone light while the toddler snored next to me. I curled up with it on the hotel bed while the city hummed and honked through another D.C. afternoon. I read it in Michigan where I grew up and Indiana where I went to school. I read it between reunions with family and friends.

And one single chapter haunted me.
