I absolutely loved this book! Deeply moving. The writing style is warm and engaging. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. Each chapter was a revelation. Everyone should read this at least once.
