In "Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything," Julia Baird explores the concept of grace, which she defines as moments of undeserved beauty, kindness, or clarity. The author shares her personal experiences of finding grace during her cancer treatment, such as swimming with whale sharks and witnessing a luminous pink moon after her mother's death. Baird also examines grace from a broader perspective, discussing how Australian First Nations members invited Australians to join a "makarrata" and how grieving families choose forgiveness despite immense pain. The book highlights the author's ability to find wonder in everyday moments and is likely to resonate with readers, even those who may be skeptical. [Extracted from the article]
