Marya Hornbacher’s Waiting: A Nonbeliever’s Higher Power (2011) is a reflective and spiritual memoir-style work that explores the search for meaning, faith, and transcendence outside of traditional religion. Written after her earlier works on addiction and recovery, Hornbacher reflects on her own struggles with belief, skepticism, and the language of spirituality often tied to organized faith. The book examines what it means to seek a “higher power” as someone who does not subscribe to conventional religious frameworks, weaving together personal narrative, philosophical questioning, and recovery-based insights. At its core, Waiting is about learning to live in uncertainty, finding awe in the everyday, and embracing a form of spirituality rooted in openness, humility, and the ongoing search rather than fixed answers.
