Possibly the most beautiful and inspiring book I’ve read on homemaking/hospitality through different seasons. It’s overflowing with candid ideas and advice for creating a home that people—family and outsiders alike—feel drawn to. Sally and her husband raised their children to deeply appreciate the written word, art, music, culture, thought; diligently teaching them how the beautiful things of everyday life reflect the beauty and glory of Christ. I went into this expecting some homemaking tips, but it also ended up broadening my vision for raising a family to the glory of God and the day-to-day faithfulness involved in that. Sally and her daughter both have individual, yet such exquisite writing styles that made me simply appreciate life, creation and my Saviour just a little bit more.

I believe the Clarkson family is Anglican, so there were some minor things in the context of this topic that I didn’t agree with; but even in disregarding those, there was still so much to glean.
