This book is a marvel in emotional intelligence , the feelings that envelope me are in full display, given rise to complex intricate thought. It is truly a gift a book of connection, and feelings so full the only way to react to them is be in amongst the words. The emotional intelligence and capability to convey such in writing of the author is unmatched in anything else I’ve read.
