Fortælleren falder ned i et bundløst mørke, men tvinger sig selv til hver dag at løbe, løbe, løbe for livet. Langsomt finder hun energi til at vende tilbage på arbejde, og endelig kan hun igen tage sig af sin datter. Pludselig åbner der sig små sprækker i horisonten, som giver håb om, at livet trods alt holder fast, når man selv må give slip. Den natmørke sø beskriver moderskabets og forældreskabets dybe bånd og er en hyldest til den kærlighed og de venskaber, der kan vinde over sorgens mørke.Liz Tichenor er en amerikansk præst først i 30’erne bosat i Berkeley, Californien. Den natmørke sø er baseret på egne erfaringer og oplevelser.

- A Young Priest Maps the Topography of Grief
188,95 - 288,95 kr. Called "such a sad, tough story, but finally so life-affirming, filled with spirit and love" by Anne Lamott, this is a raw and intensely affecting memoir by a young priest about loss of a child, its grief and its aftermath, and the hard-won joy that can follow.Liz Tichenor has taken her newborn son, five weeks old, to the doctor, from a cabin on the shores of Lake Tahoe. She is sent home to her husband and two-year-old daughter with the baby, who is pronounced "fine" by an urgent care physician. Six hours later, the baby dies in their bed. Less than a year and a half before, Tichenor''s mother jumped from a building and killed herself after a long struggle with alcoholism. As a very young Episcopal priest, Tichenor has to "preach the Good News," to find faith where there is no hope, but she realizes these terrible parts of her own life will join her in the pulpit. The Night Lake is the story of finding a way forward through tragedies that seem like they might be beyond surviving and of carving out space for the slow labor of learning to live again, in grief.
