All That Matters
By Jean Anderson
All That Matters is a soulful companion for anyone seeking the truth wrapped in tenderness. I hope my first collection of essays and poetry will offer you poignant insights on being present for the ones we love while seeing connection and beauty in the world that surrounds us.
Mostly, may All That Matters remind you that life is rich with love and meaning despite what we lose and grieve along the way.
Now available at Gallery 4 in downtown Fargo!
“Grounding and gratitude in the grief of a sister’s suicide, a rare battle with hepatitis, or a close encounter with a shivering homeless person, Jean shares her challenges, sorrows and joys with candor and eye-opening vulnerability. With a palpable twinkle in her eye, she nourishes her hunger for grace and peace in her own life and in the lives of those she touches so tenderly. ‘All That Matters’ is a gift that will bring smiles, awe, and introspection to those who open it.”
“An elegant collection of thought provoking and poignant essays that inspire us to live life well in community with each other, nature, and the Divine. Infused with nuggets of candor, wisdom and delight, it renews our hope by reminding us we are never alone.”
“Jean uses personal life events to provide valuable life lessons. She share her pain, joy and how she coped through life challenges. The book is very well written, easy to read, and you’ll be able to relate and you’ll also be inspired. I highly recommend it!”
“In a series of artfully drawn vignettes, space between poetic reveries, tragedy and beauty are suffered and savored alike. The reader encounters tears and belly laughs while the text disappears and the story moves through the heart.”
