This book required two re-starts before I read it all the way through. It was necessary to ponder the author's suggestions and write in a journal. The book encouraged action and reflection. I now know the seven living virtues that lead up to and embody the celebration of Kwanzaa. There is still plenty of effort needed to create balance and harmony in my life, but A Plentiful Harvest has many great ideas for accomplishing those goals. The author fully admits she has more work to do on the virtues also -- lifelong requirements. There are many good quotes in the book, but at this time in our country, I like this one -- "Compassion and acceptance of yourself and others are the two cornerstones of humanity and community."
