Publisher’s Summary

“As a writer, Wearing is all luscious texture and running narrative.” (The Globe and Mail)

Moments of Glad Grace is a moving and witty memoir of aging, familial love, and the hunt for roots and belonging. The story begins as a trip from Canada to Ireland in search of genealogical data and documents. Being 80 and in the early stages of Parkinson’s Disease, Joe invites his daughter Alison to come along as his research assistant, which might have worked very well had she any interest – any at all – in genealogy.

Very quickly, the father-daughter pilgrimage becomes more comical than fruitful, more of a bittersweet adventure than a studious mission. And rather than rigorous genealogy, their explorations move into the realm of family and forgiveness, the primal search for identity and belonging, and questions about responsibility to our ancestors and the extent to which we are shaped by the people who came before us.

Though continually bursting with humor, Moments of Glad Grace ultimately becomes a song of appreciation for the precious and limited time we have with our parents, the small moments we share, and the gifts of transcendence we might find there.

    Excellent writing

    The story started a bit slow for me at first but the writing pulled me in and kept me there. Her feminist wit and humor weaves throughout. The tender story of loving someone so deeply and finding joy in just that, was a timeless message and so well captured. This book is for anyone who has loved profoundly and has had to endure the changes and loss life naturally brings.

    I enjoyed the story of daughter and father relationship on their journey to find not only ancestry but each other.

    Moments of Glad Grace

    I loved the words and the reading by the author. It delightfully conveyed her love for her father. What a wonderful adventure they got to embark on. Even if, admittedly she was not totally in agreement with the need to find their ancestors; she did her very best with showing her father love. What else is more important?
