2015., Adult, Alfred A. Knopf Call No: 158.1 S894b Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "From the author of Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, a collection of quotes, drawn from her writings, that capture her wisdom, courage, and humor. In her three previous books -- her debut novel, Torch, her memoir, Wild, and her insightful "Dear Sugar" advice columns, Tiny Beautiful Things -- Cheryl Strayed has shared the many twists and trials of her life, offering truths, as well as laughter, to her readers. Her honesty, spirit, and ample supply of tough love have enabled many of us, even in the darkest hours, to somehow put one foot in front of the other -- and be brave enough. Whether humorous or wise, Strayed's words are anthems that remind us that we may inevitably make mistakes, but we can also do better, both for ourselves and for others. Such as: Be brave enough to break your own heart. You can't ride to the fair unless you get on the pony. Keep walking. Acceptance is a small, quiet room. Romantic love is not a competitive sport. Forward is the direction of real life. More than 100 of these "mini-instruction manuals for the soul," urging us toward the incredible capacity for love, compassion, forgiveness, and endurance that is within us all."--Provided by publisher.
