ASTONISHED: A STORY OF EVIL, BLESSINGS, GRACE, AND SOLACE
Book ID/图书代码： 02330012B57963
English Summary/英文概要： A bestselling memoirist bravely tells the story of the night evil paid her a visit—and how prayer chased evil away
Beverly Donofrio had already lived two lives, first as a scrappy young mother on the streets of the East Village and later as the bestselling author of Riding in Cars with Boys. By the time she reached her fifties, she thought she had seen it all.
Now, even though she was living in a vibrant, picturesque Mexican town, where she practiced yoga, drank margaritas in her backyard, and took salsa lessons, she felt lost and was searching for monasteries to visit. The religious practice that had nourished her for several years had faded. She missed God. Then one night she woke to find a rapist holding a knife to her throat. So begins the memoir that charts Donofrio’s journey—a long and twisting road through denial, mourning, anger, vulnerability, and retreat at five very different monasteries.
Told through Donofrio’s brutally honest, often ribald, emotionally unsparing voice, Astonished is a tender and hopeful narrative of healing and learning to love life again.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个最畅销的传记勇敢地讲述了她遭遇的邪恶夜晚的故事，并讲述了祈祷者是如何追逐邪恶离开的。
多诺弗里奥贝弗利在生活中扮演着两个角色，首先是东村街道的一位精力旺盛的年轻母亲，同时也是畅销书《辣妹青春》的作家。在她中年时，她认为她已经看到了生活的全部。
现在，尽管她生活在一个充满活力、风景如画的墨西哥小镇，在那里她练习瑜伽，在她后院享用玛格丽特酒，学习萨尔萨舞课程，她依然感到迷茫并曾寻找修道院去参观。孕育了她多年的宗教实践已经渐渐褪去。她错过了上帝。然后一天晚上她醒来发现一个强奸犯用刀抵着她的喉咙。所以开始了多诺弗里奥的回忆，一段路程漫长而曲折的小路，穿过否认、哀悼、愤怒、脆弱,并最终回到五个不同的修道院。
多诺弗里奥用非常诚实的，有时粗俗的，情绪上严厉的声音告诉我们,《惊讶》是一个温柔，充满希望的故事，它能够使我们再次学会热爱生活。(LNL)

“能读懂多诺弗里奥贝芙的第一段并停止的人应终身禁止去图书馆和书店。她是一流的人，在我看来，也是一个卑劣的圣徒。我感激有幸进入她的发光的灵魂。 THE FIFTH WEEKBR的作者 William J. O’Malley, S.J.
“对我来说，比佛利多诺弗里奥一部分是阿比盖尔•托马斯，一部分是安妮拉莫特，一部分是凯萨琳诺里斯，却是100%的原创。可怕的有时又非常有趣。坦率的、引人注目，高于一切，明智。这是贝弗利多诺弗里奥，叛逆的少年和《辣妹青春》里艰难的单身母亲，四十年之后,仍然脆弱，仍有弹性、屡屡被生活考验和调整，最后打造了自己的和平。《惊讶》是一个探求者和女作家的精神之旅，穿过怀疑与绝望，以牛仔靴，绿色紧身裤，和祷告者的形象出现。《狂人和帮助想要的:女性》一书的作者，萨拉•普理查德。
