I've recently finished reading this book and found it to be absolutely wonderful. Rather than simply entertaining me, the reader, it allowed and encouraged me to question the way of things, the Why? of life. It told me that struggling was understandable and necessary. It let me realize what I already know and hoped, and I took breaks while reading to reminisce about difficult times, which led me to remember also the truth, beauty and humor in them.
If you are having trials in your life, or are questioning your own Whys?, I recommend this book to you.
I remind myself that sometimes the answer in front of me is "No", so that later the answers can be "Yes".
This book is beautifully written, funny, and REAL.
I enjoyed it almost as much as Blue Like Jazz...which is saying alot, because that book is really life changing. If you want to learn the "why" instead of the "how"...this is a great book. :)
