Our Share of Night, Our Share of Morning, like parenting, is filled with everyday moments that evoke laughs, smiles, a lump in the throat—and eye-opening perspectives on life, love, and spirituality. At once wise, funny, and down-to-earth, Nancy Fuchs explores the transformative spiritual adventure that parents experience while bringing up their children. Through the lives of the many parents she interviews, Fuchs explores how children provide a crash course in love, grace, forgiveness, and mystery. Our Share of Night, Our Share of Morning is about how parenting opens us up to a much experienced but little talked about spiritual journey; it is about elation and exhaustion, wonderment and wondering, and the discovery that parenting is a spiritual path that "raises" the souls of both parent and child in often unexpected ways.

reviewed Our Share of Night, Our Share of Morning Parenting As a Spiritual Journey on February 10, 2015 Our Share of Night
As others have said, this book is a collection of anecdotes from dozens of parents of various backgrounds. I enjoyed the diversity and variety of the perspectives offered. It's a sweet book in terms of helping me feel like I'm in the company of other new parents: alternately exhausted and exhilarated by the privilege of caring for a little one. You're almost sure to find an anecdote that hits home for you in this collection, since just about every viewpoint and experience related to new parenting is included. A couple have stayed with me and I'm grateful to have read them, as they give me a little more peace about my own parenting journey / have helped me frame things in a more thoughtful manner so I can be a better parent.
However, the lack of a single thread or story arc ultimately means this book is a couple of hundred pages of paragraph-length anecdotes organized loosely by theme. That is great when one is sleep deprived and only able to tune in for a couple of pages, but made it difficult for me to sit down and read this for any length of time in one sitting or feel like the book was "building" up to something meaningful. I found the brevity of the various anecdotes and the organization of the book tiresome in the end: I'd rather read a collection of short stories that each span a dozen pages and encompass a few themes, rather than a collection of several hundred paragraph-length anecdotes that don't build on each other apart from offering various perspectives on a single theme.
