This memoir gives us the fascinating story of a womans quest for a meaningful life. It is by turns charming, hilarious, heartwarming, and tragic, and yet, in the end, it delivers hope. I dont ask for more.

I have spent decades writing about how to live well. In her book, Sallie Weissinger writes about something maybe even more importanthow to love well. And she does so spectacularly. Hers is the book for everyone who has loved and lost, and wants to love again.
Eugenia Killoran, coauthor of The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life

Linearity works for many things; however, in Sallie Weissingers potent book (and even more potent life) she shows us how tapping into grace can be a tangible way of entering into mystery, meaning, and direction. By recounting times of staggering loss, loneliness, self-doubt, perseverance, and openness to the ineffable, Sallie demonstrates how the journey of life can be a glorious pathway for those with a bit of daring!
