I carry it with me everywhere I go; like a reference manual…a sacred text.

If you are a human being on this earth and are in contact with even just one other human being, ever, you must read this book.

Marianna models how learning and practicing the art of being present with one another, fiercely and compassionately, restores us. This book is accessible, soulful, and timeless.

…So beautifully written, so important, so healing.

…I feel I learned more about how to truly be with someone in their pain than I did in grad school.

Ahhh it’s late and I want to go to sleep, but I CAN’T put your book down!!!

Every member of Our ‘Victims of Homicide’ group has had children or loved ones murdered. your book is so inclusive of the pain we’ve all gone through. It’s an asset in our library.
