Oh my - SO very good - I can’t believe I’d never heard about it!! Randomly, it reminded me of Matthew McConaughy’s memoir, minus some humor, plus some extra search for meaning. This one will stick with me!

The story of her survival and recovery are amazing. There truly is no limit to what you can achieve if you set your mind and heart to it. Obviuously her faith plays a BIG role in her achievements. The peace with which she and other Buddhists look at things does give you pause for thought. Americans are always going going going - striving for more; Asians seem more in the moment and happy with the little things - like a plastic bag kite or the stars. If all you take away from this book is the desire to more in touch with yourself, and hopefully a higher power, then she has done her job.
