| I read this in high school and would love to read it again as an adult. I remember it being an emotionally moving story that made me cry real tears. | |

| A poignant story about divine love and truth. The story travels from gut wrenching pain, to forgiveness and acceptance, which offers a roadmap to surrender if you've never experience it yourself. If you are in need of emotional healing, this book has ...more | |

| Powerful read. This book needs to be made into a movie. It is by far my favourite Chevy Stevens novel. It is terrifying! It's a powerful story of sisterly bonds, the grips of trauma, and rising above the resistance of the past. ...more | |

| I loved this book. I enjoy Danielle's writing for what she is criticized for - affluent characters with rich emotional and material experiences. She has been said to write unrealistically, but I'd argue that all human experience is realistic. I parti ...more | |

| I borrowed this book from the library as a pre-teen and slept with it in my bed. I loved the soft padded cover and the imagined effects of a book from another dimension steeping in magic. From the brown, tea worn pages, to the pressed fairies and des ...more | |

| What an accomplished woman. This is a great read about politics, international and intercultural communication, wars, crises, friendships, women in power, while offering an endearing inside look at the White House and the president. | |

| I think many critics fail to remember these historical figures were people with personalities. Perhaps Anne Boleyn had a bit of narcissism while being highly intelligent. Perhaps Jane was emotionally intelligent and that’s why she blended in. Henry h ...more | |
“This is hard to say to people without offending them, but it’s a universal truth even for the most high-performing people on the planet, so here it is: your self-image could be a lot better, and you ought to be a lot more congruent in how you engage the world. How we think of ourselves (our self-image) and how we behave in accordance with that image in the real world is the stuff of congruence. It’s one of the most profoundly powerful drives we have as humans—to live in consistent alignment with who we think we are, how we want others to perceive us, and who we want to become. When we don’t behave as the person we believe ourselves to be, we feel “off,” “out of sorts,” and, often, frustrated or angry. If we think we’re lions, for example, but we act as mice, we secretly loath our- selves. From THE CHARGE”

“They are all but stomachs, and we are all but food;
They eat us hungerly, and when they are full
They belch us.
“And then they blame us for their indigestion.”

“When you love beings… not for their intelligence, etc., but for what they have in their very depths, for their soul… you love them equally: they are entireties, perfect inasmuch as they are (to be = perfection). Why then is there this desire to get closer? To know them, and thus to love them more perfectly for what they really are. What is surprising is not that we love them all, but rather that we prefer one of them.”
