In the face of unspeakable harm, what can be reclaimed? Sherbill's tale, written with grace and brutal honesty, reveals her struggle to reclaim her identity as a daughter, woman, and now mother. Most of all, it's a story about learning to live alongside our traumas without letting them consume uswhat some might call redemption.Perfect for fans of Unorthodox by Deborah Feldman or other books about religious trauma, There Was Night and There Was Morning offers a nuanced exploration of faith, family, and the courage to reclaim ones identity.
