After reading the first chapter of this book, I set it aside with no intention to pick it up again as I thought it was taking me on a path I did not want to explore. The next day my heart was softened and I decided to give the book another try and I am so grateful that I read this book.
If you ever have thought that you really knew your child or other family member, especially if the relationship has been strained or full of conflict, this book will teach you that you never really know that person unless you have taken time to listen to them and to explore and learn about their world.
This book made me sad and weep for the chasm that sometimes develops in families when one member does not "follow the path" that the rest of the family would like them to follow. A person's worth does not always come from the external things that so often the world sees as being important but rather from the deeds of the person in question.
The message of this book filled me with a strong desire to be a better wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, aunt and to leave the world a far better person than I am at the present time.
