In stirring verse and essays, Katy Bowser Hutson chronicles her battle with breast cancer and the complications of faith amid such a fight. Accentuated by the art of Jodi Hays, Now I Lay Me Down to Fightleads us through the realization of cancer, the experience of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, relentless rounds of radiation, the uncertainty of ongoing treatment, and what comes after survival.

Through it all, she shows what it means to struggle in a battered body and to pray to a God who is near to the broken. Join her in this consideration of mortality and witness her persisting trust in God's unseen ways.

Praise for the Book:

"The poems in Now I Lay Me Down to Fight are luminous, honest, heartbreaking, and at moments even funny. They are at once defiant yet surrendered, buoyant yet profound, faithful yet never trite. . .Katy Hutson has descended into the darkness of cancer and there wrought beauty, goodness, wisdom, and even abundance."
–Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Prayer in the Night, from the foreword

"Both beautiful and harrowing, Katy Bowser Hutson's book takes readers on a journey into 'the depths’. . .to discover a God who has not abandoned her to the depths but rather, in love, abided with her in them. This book is a gift to all who suffer and to those who keep watch with the sufferers."
–W. David O. Taylor, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Katy's poetic reflections are unflinchingly honest—and stubborn in hope too. Whether you've received a cancer diagnosis or love someone who has, this book will help you feel less alone. These gentle invitations are full of quiet strength and will leave you with the profound truth that God's tender comfort is near, even in the most heart-wrenching moments of being human."
–Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way
