What a beautifully designed book!
Although I don't feel the script is well balanced with the serifed font, the book is laid out sumptuously and the illustrations and scrapbook elements are lovely. Sheryl Smith did a fantastic job, as did the illustrators.
As for the message, Brother Uchtdorf is a masterful storyteller. This book may have been intended for the young women, but I needed to read it. He spoke about matters that weigh heavily upon my mind when I consider the happiness of my daughters. I am not sure how to reach them and help them be as excited about the gospel of Christ as I am. I am nowhere as eloquent or gentle as Brother Uchtdorf, and I could use examples.
His message is simple. Adversity in life is part of the plan, but that we all can earn a "Happily Ever After" when living through our trials by adhering to Christ's teachings and not following the ways of the world. Our "Once upon a time" is now.
Excellent book.

This is one of my favorite talks of all time... So when I saw this book I immediately started asking for it. The pages are beautiful the message is beautiful this is an awesome book! President Uchtdorf has always been a favorite speaker (next to President Monson) and this talk is wonderful!

It's been one of those leave-class-early-with-a-panic-attack-and-hang-around-the counseling-center days, and at last a reason for happy tears. It's going to be okay.
