Description

By the time Laura Munson had turned 40, her life was not how she thought it would turn out. Career success had eluded her; her beloved father was no longer around to be her biggest cheerleader; and her husband wanted out of their marriage.

Poignant, wise, and often exceedingly funny, this is the moment-by- moment memoir of a woman who decided to let go-in the midst of the emotional equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It recounts what happened as Munson set out on her spiritual journey-and provides raw, powerful inspiration to anyone searching for peace in an utterly unpredictable world.

  • Not for me

    Although the idea seemed interesting in theory, in practice it just didn't work. The "book" read like a self-absorbed teenagers diary and would have benefited from some editing and polishing. The characters lacked development and were hard to get attached to. It took me longer than usual to finish this book because the plot dragged and I just couldn't get into the story gh to care what happens.

    I can't get through this book. It isn't the story I thought it would be, it's worse. Disappointing. Try Isabel Gillies "Happens Every Day".

    Funny how the right book finds it's way into your hands at just the right time in your life. This book will truly help in my journey of life - my husband - my children - and most importantly - my self!

    Laura Munsons little memoir gave me the jolt I needed. It's an honest account of how she comes out stronger and heals in a recently challenged relationship. She reminds the reader of things we already may or may not know but need to practice. This is not the story you think it is!
  • Well-done!

    If you've ever gone through a really tough period in your life where you felt lost, Laura's description of her own tough time might help you understand it a bit more. Honest and direct writing style. I read it in a day! Good book Laura and thanks!
