I got encouragement from this depth of discussion on grateful living. There is a wealth of practical actions and meditations to help me grow in this way of life. The memoir aspect of the book really brings out the meaning of gratefulness. It is an engrossing story and imparts the value of life.

Good story and characters. The setting was especially well done, giving the historical sense of what life was like in that place at that time. Very solid story telling.

There were several places in this short book where the author puts into words my own experiences in meditation. Much of her wording took time for me to understand, but when she described experiences, it was clear as a bell for me. The book seems to be more of an enticement rather than a how-to. At the end I also found great encouragement for the struggle I have had with ups and downs in the actual practice of meditation. The author is a person who is speaking from the heart of her own experience.
