When Norris read about 'acedia'---or deep indifference---in a 4th-century monastic text, she had at last found a name for her own chronic soul-weariness. In this candid memoir, she explores acedia through her marriage, life as a writer, spiritual practice, and the illness of her husband. A moving meditation on a forgotten, but relevant concept, Acedia & me was the 2009 Christianity Today Book award winner in the Spirituality category.
