Praise for Healing Maddie Brees

“Most powerfully, Stevenson links the physical to the spiritual, letting Maddie’s breast cancer open her to a spiritual journey, letting the veneration of the Eucharist open space for understanding illness, letting love for the mortal body open space for love of the divine. A gorgeous meditation on broken bodies, fractured faith, and the soul-wrenching path to serenity.”
–Kirkus Reviews

“Stevenson writes beautifully and raises book-group discussion-worthy issues about relationships… diseases… and faith.”
–Booklist

“thought-provoking and sobering…
Fans of Julie Cantrell’s The Feathered Bone… will want to check out this title.”
–Library Journal, Starred Review

“An elegant story of faith and healing.”
–Stephen Chbosky, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Thought-provoking”
–Barbara Claypole White, Bestselling Author of The Perfect Son
