Alienated and estranged from her own body, she turns her cancer into “these binoculars, \/ this new way of looking,” and uses it as a way of fixing herself firmly within the moment. As she travels Ireland and the Pacific Northwest, her busy mind moves from the knot in her breast to the knots in her knitting to the illuminated knots of \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Kells \u003c\/i\u003eto the tossing, knotted surface of the sea; from the margins of her surgery—clean but not ideal—to the margins of illuminated manuscripts. She links the mundane to the mythic, intertwining connections between scripture and nature, storms and loss, winter and light, breast cancer and embroidery. As she returns to her home on a small pond in Massachusetts, she takes with her the fruits of her travels: the incarnate grace of the ordinary.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVivid and compelling, \u003ci\u003eIncarnate Grace\u003c\/i\u003e finds beauty in the worst of circumstances and redemption in the fabric of daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011653386480,"sku":"9780809333899","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809333899_p0.jpg?v=1763739837","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809333899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
