“This book is a breath of fresh air to anyone who is, well, human. Because it’s a story of amazing stories you almost can’t believe are true, scars that are hard to read about but which will feel so familiar to you, songs, in a way that will surprise you, and a Sacred bench, that will invite you in to a world you didn’t even realize you needed to pass into but which you can visit any time. As someone who loves and respects vulnerability, authenticity and the power of the imperfect aspects of our life to inspire, I love this book! You will read it, and pass it on to the ones you love most!”
