Jan King's writing is so uplifting. It's so helpful to have a cheerful voice from someone who has conquered some of life's most difficult challenges. The belly laughs from how funny Jan is are great too. I really needed a good laugh!! I am so grateful that a friend gave me a copy of this book, it was just what the doctor ordered. No matter what troubles you are confronting, the advice in this book will help you handle your tough choices with grace. :)

This book is a delight. Jan looks straight into some heavy issues, takes a deep breath, and bounces right back with good advice, great humor and an 'is that all you got?!?' attitude. Her honesty about her experience and her life's challenges really help me look at what I am going through with less tunnel vision. I highly recommend this book.
