Susan Tiberghien´s poetic memoir evokes a life fully lived and closely observed. In elegant prose and poetry, she presents the landscapes of her time with fresh eyes, gentle humor, and a generous spirit. The rooftops of Grenoble, the hills above Lago Maggiore, Geneva in its white fog, are the settings for a French-American romance, an international domestic tale, full of children and laughter, and at the end a new direction and revelation. Footsteps, A European Album is a wise book, and a pleasure to read. Peter Meinke, The Piano Tuner, Zinc Fingers In this album of wonderfully witty and poignant essays, S.Tiberghien captures stories from thirty-five years of family life in Europe. The collection describes a love story and from that matrix a meditation about many kinds of love. Light and dark days, funny and momentous ones are celebrated as faith and an energetic capacity for friendship define the family´s cross-cultural path. The pages fly by and before we know it, the six children have grown. In the new silence, familiar footsteps insist that she write.

A luminous spiritual memoir inviting the reader to the practice of silent prayer. Rooted in her Judeo-Christian tradition, author Susan Tiberghien welcomes the wisdom of other traditions and calls us to embrace our shared humanity.
In this 20th Anniversary Edition, Tiberghien writes an Afterword to update her journey, opening the confines of her own darkness and finding atonement in the natural world and in the presence of Sophia, the ‘hidden wholeness’ of creation.
