Vinita’s latest novel, Dwelling Places, was released January 31, 2006 to much acclaim:
“Few novelists are as wise and compassionate as Vinita Hampton Wright, and few novels are as moving as this one. Dwelling Places broke my heart and renewed my spirit.”
Wally Lamb, author of She’s Come Undone
“In this extraordinarily well-observed, contemplative novel, Wright manages an astounding level of honesty and plenty of wry humor. [T]his novel eschews hackneyed pietism in favor of an authentic portrait of people who do not completely regret their mistakes and are still learning how to accept God’s consolation.”
Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
“Wright’s touch with her characters is strong, sure, and compassionate; her realism is unflinching, and her vision of redemption, like newly sprouted seed, feels fresh and true.”
Tim Farrington, author of Lizzie’s War and The Monk Downstairs
“In this unpretentious but grippingly credible story, the land and our ways of living upon it are as much characters as Jodie, Mack, Young Taylor, and Kenzie; and every one of them is the texture in which we dwell.”
Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours.
