Lines I loved from this book:
True wisdom gives the only possible answer at any given moment.
Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognize yourself as a friend.
Many Americans feel more happy and fulfilled in their offices than they do in their own homes.
Beauty attracts beauty.
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.

I really liked this book. It had a great message about finding yourself and your security after life as you know it has fallen apart.
I thought I would hate this book. I thought it was a self-help type and in my book, if you have to read one of those, then you have more issues than the one you're reading about. I digress...
