When the Heart Waits follows Sue Monk Kidd as she navigates a period of inner turmoil and transition. Dissatisfied with her life, she withdraws from the world to confront her restlessness. Through profound self-reflection and an openness to the sacred, Kidd uncovers the hidden gifts of this "waiting" time. As she delves into the wisdom of mystics and the natural world, Kidd discovers that these silent, in-between spaces hold the potential for profound personal growth and a deepening of faith. With lyrical prose and raw vulnerability, this memoir traces one woman's courageous exploration of the soul's search for meaning.
