Well worth a read if you are having a difficult time

Really enjoyed this book – was not sure what to expect when I started reading it. It is certainly a book that many might find enjoyable in different ways even though there are some very sad tales from people in the authors life. She has met a wide variety of people (some she calls good friends) and she writes with a certain amount of humour about her own trials and tribulations. I had never read any of her articles or columns in the newspapers that she had written for so I was coming at this with a neutral look. It is no way a self help book and Christina mentions on more that one occasion her slight disdain for these books! This book basically says that most people have gone through a variety of traumatic experiences in their life and they have found numerous ways to cope with these events.
Would be very interested to see what Christina follows this book with as she is a very accomplished author.
