“This rich, wise, and comforting guide for those living with illness is a handbook of deep knowledge gleaned through lived experience. It is a blend of realism and humility, of questions and mystery – all delivered with Mary’s simple yet elegant style. She unmasks many illusions and reminds us that though our lives are ‘short and uncertain,’ there is unfathomable power each time we realize that we have another day.”—Paula D’Arcy, author of Gift of the Red Bird and Waking Up to This Day

"...it's a valuable one for those who are ill, and their caregivers…Caregivers and patients both, could find Days of Grace helpful."—Lois Sibley
