Margie Haack's memoir of growing up and coming to faith is, much like its author herself, an inviting, hospitable book. Artful, unpretentious, humorously self-disclosing, The Exact Place tells of life in rural Minnesota with perception and insight that recall Leif Enger or Patricia Hampl. I've spent many good hours around Margie and her husband's open table, but here is a different sort of hospitality, one no less welcoming for being in print: an open life, displayed in stories that are full of sharp wit and graceful intelligence.
Thanks Wes!
