Her work has been described as “breathtaking” by the Chicago Tribune. Now Jan Richardson returns with a new collection of blessings that go deeper still into what she has become known for: blessings that do not shy away from our human experience but enter into the full range of it.

With poetic honesty, How the Stars Get in Your Bones turns toward the hard things that each of us knows: the grief, loss, fear, and weariness that we live with. In her distinctive style, Richardson invites us to perceive what makes its home here, too: the joy, solace, grace, and, most of all, the love that moves through it all, illuminating and transforming what seems most hidden or hopeless.
