“Rich, thank you for your story. Knowing a little bit about the unfathomable bombshell that dropped into your life recently, I was thoroughly captivated by the backstory and had a hard time putting the book down. Your vulnerability in sharing so much and the feeling of grace it left me with for every person represented in it was profound. It caused me to reflect on my own struggles, heritage, and identity. The way you recapped not just your life but the lives of your parents left me feeling sobered that one day, my own life will be summarized into only a select collection of highlights as well. What am I doing with the challenges given me? Am I willing to "face my life, fierce with reality?” Your book also left me feeling comforted in realizing that each person, no matter their path, plays an integral part in God's giant tapestry of life. We're truly all just doing the best we can, and no matter what transpires, there is sooo much grace. Life's hardships really can work together for our good. Your story is an incredible journey to discovering self-love.”
