Read Amy’s article in November ‘25.
Amy Baik Lee is the author of This Homeward Ache, a columnist for Cultivating Magazine, and a contributing writer for the Rabbit Room. She currently serves on the board of the Anselm Society and is a literary member of the Anselm Arts Guild. A lifelong appreciator of stories, she studied English literature at the University of Virginia (BA, MA) and still "does voices" when she reads aloud. She writes at a desk that looks out on a small cottage garden in Colorado, usually surrounded by her husband’s woodworking projects, her two daughters’ creative works, and patient cups of rooibos tea.
Amy’s experience of reading Frederick Buechner’s work is consistently one of recuperation. His willingness to examine the multiple sides of a given thought and to work through those layered considerations on the page has encouraged her to do the same in writing and in prayer; his humility and candidness have set her an example for how to remember the past and view the present. But above all, she is continually moved by his astonished awareness of grace.
