    <body><![CDATA[This book really held my interest from start to finish.  Graham has great self-understanding and perspective on her life, and was very honest about her late husband's mental illness, the things that she both admired and resented about her parents, and her own insecurities as an untrained businesswom...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53379031">more...</a>]]></body>
