In \"Open Thy Hand Wide\" she searches out the deeply embedded role of generosity in Christian faith. And in \"When I Was a Child,\" one of her most personal essays to date, an account of her childhood in Idaho becomes an exploration of individualism and the myth of the American West. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as one of our essential writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672744878353,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780374298784.jpg?v=1781521107","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-when-i-was-a-child-i-read-books-by-marilynne-robinson","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
