My sister's dear friend gave her this book as part of a collection of different books that had been impactful to herself. It's one of those books that I can't wait to re-read and it's all kind of molded together in my mind in a very vague way. I think I read it earlier this year when my mind was in a very busy place and so I didn't absorb it that well but it was so full of richness that I need to go back to these pages to really have encountered it the way I want to. The style reminds me of John Eldredge there are a lot of literature and movie references that are really beautiful and lots of personal stories from her own life and from people she has worked with over the years. Suffice it to say in my limited way that it was a call to true strength that only comes through the passageway of brave vulnerability. In that way, it aligns with Brene Brown and others who are trailblazers of this path. It's not an invitation to self centeredness but to awareness and compassion towards self and others.
