“these prayers gently and patiently invite the reader to see: to see more accurately (and therefore inhabit more fully) the wonder of her incarnation, her inherent interconnection, her dependence, her smallness, her inherent worthiness, and the rich texture of her life … which includes being in the Low. And, perhaps just as importantly, the book empowers the reader to see her experience of Lowness as (at least partially) responsive to environments that are at odds with human flourishing, and to therefore trust what Lowness exposes and undermines.”
