What they're saying:
“We are taught as we grow up about what impresses others but not about how to find our way and live our lives. When you know where you are going, the bumps are nonexistent or meaningless and cannot stop our moving forward and living a full life.” -Bernard Siegel, MD
“This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.”
-Pragito Dove
“It is easy to find the personal in the general; it is quite another thing to find the general in the personal. Pat Wetzel has done that for us. Like the Zen Master in chapter 24, she has shown us how to fill ourselves with wisdom with personal stories with which we all can identify.”
-Bill Aron
