"An atheist and rationalist, looking back at the journal she kept during her adolescence, sets out to answer her younger self's uninhibited musings on questions of spirituality, science, and morality. From the author of 'Nickel and Dimed : on (not) getting by in boom-time America' comes a brave, frank, and exquisitely written memoir. Barbara Ehrenreich is an author, journalist, activist, and advocate for social justice. She recounts her quest-beginning in childhood-to find "the Truth" about the universe and everything else: What's really going on? Why are we here? A staunch atheist and rationalist, she is profoundly shaken by the implications of her life-long search. Part memoir, part philosophical and spiritual inquiry, Living With A Wild God brings an older woman's wry and erudite perspective to a young girl's uninhibited musings on the questions that, at one point or another, torment us all. Ehrenreich's most personal book ever will spark a lively and heated conversation about religion and spirituality, science and morality, and the meaning of life."--Provided by publisher.
