After years of searching, most of which occurring in the secular capital of the world, she came to realize that the time she spent with friends and familyâ€”the evenings of shared hospitality and intimate fellowshipâ€”provided spiritual nourishment and that this theme has been woven into all the most important moments of her life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this spiritual memoir, Quinn speaks frankly about her varied, provocative spiritual experiencesâ€”from her Southern family of Presbyterians and psychics, to voodoo lessons from her Baptist nanny, her trials as a hospitalized military kid in Japan as the Korean War begins, to her adventures as a Post reporter and columnist and her experience as one of the first female news anchors on national television; her battles with the Nixon administration, Watergate, and other scandals that have rocked the nation; her courtship and long marriage to one of the most authoritative figures in the media; her role as the capitalâ€™s most influential hostess; and her growing fascination with religious issues. This fascination led to her pioneering work in creating the most visited religious site on the web, OnFaith.co, where she reports on the unseen driving force of American life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this radiant, thoughtful, and surprisingly intimate memoir, Quinn reveals how \"itâ€™s all magic\"â€”the many forms of what draws us together and provides meaning to all we do. Her roller coaster and irreverent but surprisingly spiritual story allows us to see how the infinite wonder of God and the values of meaningful conversation, experience, and community are available to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinding Magic includes 16 pages of exclusive photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43009843626047,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/4359293482210.jpg?v=1773661637","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/finding-magic-a-love-story-by-sally-quinn","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
