THE AUTHOR.

“…an ideal read to start the day…a book you’ll want to lend to a friend…” (www.christianbookshops.org.uk, 19th August 2005)“The book you have in your hand, White China, is a compilation of pieces of Molly Wolf. One normally says that pieces are by an author; but I mean what I say. These are pieces of Molly Wolf that are as fearlessly presented and as lacking in self-protection as is the latter half of her name. No one is blocked from entering here, no one is going to be conned, and no one need hold up his or her guard while inside these pages. This is a conversation with Molly played out by the rules of Wolf." --from the Foreword by Phyllis Tickle

"Molly Wolf gives us down-to-earth, poignant, and often very funny meditations on the surprise and delight and struggle of everyday life. Her close observations of the natural world, her reflections on what it means to be human and what God might mean to humans, and her ability to illuminate the dark and the light will give any reader daily, life-giving bread." --Nora Gallagher, author, Things Seen and Unseen and Practicing Resurrection, and The Shape of Things to Come
