We all experience grief and loss, every day, all the time. Mary is a fellow Minnesotan who is guiding us through this most human experience through the vulnerable, honest telling of her own story.
I didn’t know how much I yearned for Noha’s perspective until I found her. She openly shares the humanity of her own life, giving color to Muslim traditions and family dynamics that feel beautifully ordinary. She offers us a strong, compassionate, empowering model of femininity, profoundly counter to what the world says about Muslim women. Grateful for her heart and her willingness to share it with us.
Nadia writes, speaks, and preaches in the quintessential Lutheran way: naming a thing what it is (pain, failing, not-good-enough-ness), and then faithfully proclaiming God’s grace-filled activity amidst it all. The Corners is filled with Good News for the hardest thing of all, life itself.
