“The promise of God’s daily tender care is a whisper that I cannot forget.”This collection of inspirational stories about everyday grace gathers together personal accounts from people next door and around the globe, from the famous and the lesser known. No matter what your background or circumstances, God’s grace shows up everywhere: airports, coffee shops, hospital rooms–the details of our lives.Some encounters with grace form the book:• “And then a tiny miracle occurred on Flight 134.”• “For the grand sum of one dollar, one regular mom purchased a sliver of God, thanks to a stranger.”• “I never knew that one day I would be thanking the Lord for rats!”• “So, God spared both my can and my already bruised emotions. Call it what you like. I call it a miracle.”• “I picked up the small present and put it in my raincoat pocket. My day had been renewed.”• “I looked and said, ‘Hey girls, you can go back to sleep. Jesus just showed up.’”

REVIEWS\n"I read it straight through. I'm not confident that I even breathed while reading it. The novel is a wonder! Formally, literarily, and spiritually, it's just staggering. Wise and absorbing. Reading LITTLE HOURS, I had the all too rare experience of losing the self-conscious awareness that I was reading; I was, instead, simply and suddenly placed in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar to me. What a gift."\n— 
Lauren F. Winner, author of 
Girl Meets God\n"What characters they are: finely drawn, indelibly comic, charming, irascible, forbidding, wise. And foolish, as we all are, in most compelling, most believable, ways. Beautiful writing and penetrating intelligence . . . [reminding us] sometimes wayward paths end up being the surest."\n— 
Carlene Bauer, author of 
 Frances and Bernard\n"Gorgeously written. Lil Copan's luminous new book will do wonders for your soul."\n— 
James Martin, author of 
Building a Bridge\n"Little Hours is immediately funny, intimate, and soul-tending. From the first exchange of letters, you love the women writing them. You realize that their questions, desires, and temptations are your own, so you hang on every word, waiting to learn and grow along with these beautiful characters. This book is so true, and so gentle and loving in its truth telling."\n— 
Vinita Hampton Wright, author of 
Velma Still Cooks in Leeway\nBOOK DESCRIPTION\nWhen Miriam—restless, and longing for something she cannot name—picks up a copy of 
Sister Bird’s Guide to Small Birds she finds on the last page an invitation from the Sisters at St. Hildegard Monastery on Plover Point—“we gladly respond to questions about the life of birds and the life of faith.”\nDebut novelist Lil Copan brings us a book for birdwatchers, coffee drinkers, baseball fans, bumper-sticker readers, animal lovers and all those who care about 
 life's most piercing, unanswerable, tender, humanizing questions.\nOne set of letters over the course of two years reveals deep internal conflicts, a small farm on the verge of going under, a nun with a gambling addiction, and another with a profound secret that might upend everything the community worked so hard for.\nWhen an innocent birding question begins this special correspondence, what emerges is 
a revelatory journey of the spirit.
