A person might wonder why in this time of confusion, I might be reading a book about a pandemic.When this book became available for review through NetGalley, I thought 'Why not? Let's see how accurate, real-to-life this book will prove to be.'

As individuals and families go, this book will have a character that already lives in your life. Someone you admire, or it could be someone you might detest. You could even see you. This book is filled with all of us.
And as in life, we each react differently in the eye of a catastrophe. (Tweet This) Also included in these pages, there is of course what we have grown to expect in the last few months. The hoarding, the making peace with the estranged, the re-living of the past. The generous, and the not. The politics and the opening of the heart. The predictable and the brand new.
Life in its mystery unfolds. The isolation yes, but oh, the learning, the discovery of a better self. I was mystified on the accuracy of a book written over a course of many years and to what we see looking out our window, maybe as we wait for the grocery delivery.
What this book will give you is the proof of our choices, how each of our repeated acts compound and sometimes leave us on a path with no other choice. Would it be easier or more difficult to change if we are faced with just a few remaining days? (Tweet This)
Who would you turn to?
What would you abandon?
All worthy thoughts as we weave our complicated, completed lives.
As Maria Shriver said so lovingly and firmly in her recent newsletter "You can’t go quiet. We can’t go quiet. We can’t bow out. We can’t believe that we have nothing to add."
This book is not a downer, it sits with a pandemic in the background but it is a book about hope.
A book with value as we continue...
Stay well, stay safe.
