Survival Lessons

<p><b>One of America's most beloved writers shares her suggestions for finding beauty in the world even during the toughest times.</b><br><br><i>Survival Lessons</i> provides a road map of how to reclaim your life from this day forward, with ways to reenvision everything - from relationships with friends and family to the way you see yourself. As Alice Hoffman says, &quot;In many ways I wrote <i>Survival Lessons</i> to remind myself of the beauty of life, something that's all too easy to overlook during the crisis of illness or loss. I forgot that our lives are made up of equal parts of sorrow and joy, and that it is impossible to have one without the other. I wrote to remind myself that despite everything that was happening to me, there were still choices I could make.&quot;<br><br>Wise, gentle, and wry, Alice Hoffman teaches all of us how to choose what matters most.</p>
