Reviews
" For Love of the Broken Body is a beautiful, searching, searing book." -- Liam Callanan, novelist, author of Paris by the Book , winner of the Edna Ferber Prize "A searing, riveting, surprising, challenging and ultimately inspiring work that asks some of the hardest questions a human being might face." --James Martin, SJ, New York Times Best-selling author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage "I laughed out loud, gasped, felt seen, and learned so much in this exquisitely written memoir. It is full of universal truths, questions, and doubts." -- Marlena Graves , professor of spiritual formation, Northeastern Seminary; author of The Way Up Is Down "This bold, stereotype-busting book is bursting with wisdom. It helps us turn toward our weaknesses, self-doubt, and anxiety and walk through these, with Love, into self-acceptance, self-kindness, and concrete love for others. Bravely coloring outside the usual religious lines by sharing her story frankly, Julia brings us into the brightest hope. Highly recommended!" --Carmen Acevedo Butcher, poet and translator of Brother Lawrence's Practice of the Presence and The Cloud of Unknowing "Walsh debuts with an introspective chronicle of her rocky path through physical trauma and self-doubt to nunhood. After she began her novitiate at age 25, Walsh fell 20 feet from a cliff near her Iowa family home into a creek bed, lacerating her face and breaking her nose, jaw, and many of her teeth. She recounts the accident in the book's dramatic opening, then rewinds to detail her young adult years, during which she weighed whether to become a nun; her initial forays into the religious life, including a stint as a Jesuit volunteer; and her anxieties over romantic and physical longings, including a friendship with a Franciscan postulant. As she simultaneously wrestled with an arduous recovery process and her internal conflicts over a life of obedience and celibacy, Walsh was moved to commit to the order and use her 'brokenness' to serve 'the broken body of Christ, the Church--as complicated and messy' as '[it] can be.' With evocative prose, she captures the days and months after her accident and how her bodily trauma served both to defamiliarize and clarify. 'Every tooth has moved while my jaw has healed, while the brackets and wire held everything in place.... I don't know my mouth anymore,' she writes at one point. And yet, 'I still smile a lot,' as 'the goodness of God's creativity continues to impress me.' This leaves a mark."-- Publishers Weekly, " For Love of the Broken Body is a beautiful, searching, searing book." -- Liam Callanan, novelist, author of Paris by the Book , winner of the Edna Ferber Prize "A searing, riveting, surprising, challenging and ultimately inspiring work that asks some of the hardest questions a human being might face." --James Martin, SJ, New York Times Best-selling author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage "I laughed out loud, gasped, felt seen, and learned so much in this exquisitely written memoir.

Bravely coloring outside the usual religious lines by sharing her story frankly, Julia brings us into the brightest hope. Highly recommended!" --Carmen Acevedo Butcher, poet and translator of Brother Lawrence's Practice of the Presence and The Cloud of Unknowing, "Julia Walsh gives me hope for a future with religious women changing the world. She tells a story all her own, but I felt her doubts, questions, and passion each step of the way. Highly recommended." --Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking and River of Fire " For Love of the Broken Body is a beautiful, searching, searing book." -- Liam Callanan, novelist, author of Paris by the Book , winner of the Edna Ferber Prize "A searing, riveting, surprising, challenging and ultimately inspiring work that asks some of the hardest questions a human being might face." --James Martin, SJ, New York Times Best-selling author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage, "Julia Walsh gives me hope for a future with religious women changing the world.
