By delving into the chaos, this book guides us through the questions that seemed easier to avoid and enlightens what has been out of focus. \u003cbr\u003e   With her signature elegance, wit, and spirit, the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gift of Years\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFollowing the Path \u003c\/i\u003eopens our eyes and hearts in these times of confusion.
