About this title

About the Author:

Sue Monk Kidd is the author of three novels, The Secret Life of Bees, The Mermaid Chair, and, most recently, The Invention of Wings, which will be published by Viking in January 2014. The Secret Life of Bees spent more than two and a half years on the New York Times bestseller list, was adapted into an award-winning movie, and has been translated into thirty-six languages. The Mermaid Chair, a #1 New York Times bestseller, was adapted into a television movie. She is also the author of the memoirs The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, When the Heart Waits, and, with her daughter Ann Kidd Taylor, the New York Times bestseller Traveling with Pomegranates. Her early writings on spirituality are collected in the book Firstlight. The recipient of numerous literary awards, Sue lives in southwest Florida with her husband, Sandy, and their black Lab, Lily.

From AudioFile:

Long before THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES and THE MERMAID CHAIR became bestsellers, Sue Monk Kidd's inspirational writings were well known to readers of Norman Vincent Peale's interdenominational GUIDEPOST MAGAZINE. FIRSTLIGHT is a compilation of many of these early essays. Kidd's special gifts are her ability to identify the divine in everyday occurrences and to give the listener a road map for her own spiritual journey. Kate Forbes reads these essays with a confidence in her voice that adds credibility to the spiritual truths Kidd examines. Forbes's delivery is measured and concise, allowing listeners to reflect and experience epiphanies as they use Kidd's spiritual lens to see the divine in their lives.
