Customer Reviews

Perfect pitch in the song of life! ENJOY THIS BOOK!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This is a witty touching book. Dr. Ruth is a treasure and has a unique ability to take universal human experiences that are less often discussed, and bring them to light in a way that honors our individuality and our commonality at the same time. She makes this difficult balancing act look easy! VERY ENJOYABLE AND WORTHWHILE!
