When Mary Craig gave birth to a second handicapped child her religious faith wavered and she went through a long period of depression. She wrote her best-selling book Blessings about her attempts to create energy out of this despair, and from the many letters she's received, the book has provided a cathartic experience for other people with similar problems. She discusses how these letters and the people she has met through the book have deepened her own understanding of suffering and its purposes in the world.
