Linda Richman saved my life. I was depressed after losing a family member of my own. I would spend my days mulling my mistakes and regrets overe and over again in my head. I was unable to get out of the spirral of negative and self ptiful thought. then a friend gave me Linda's book which I (begrudgingly) read and found that not only couldn't I put it down but it made me laugh and then cry with recoginition and then with releif. I can't imagine what would've happened had I not been given that book. Linda, if you're out there...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

if somebody doesn't like this book they should run to a shrink.its funny, its sad, its touching, its written with such a joy and its written as a converation with the reader.i felt i knew this woman all of my life and she knew me. the information she imparted is so simple and yet so smart. its spirituality without the B.S. i left the book both smiling and knowing that i can survive anything.. linda is a woman who has survived insurmountable things and shows her readers how to cope with all the obstacles they may face. she does it through humor, she does it with joy. i suggest that anyone who wants to truly enjoy life even when life has other plans for you should run and buy this book. if you're life is going well this book prepares you for those times when you may need to find an inner strength you thought you never had. i have read many self help books but this is the first one that cuts to the chase. a no nonsense, practical way to find happiness when life hits you in the face. i would like to thank linda richman for sharing her life with all of us who love life. thank you linda.

This is a book for everyone. It will show you that even when life gets you down you have the power to rise up again. Linda Richman is an amazing woman. It must be a unique privilege to know her. She is to be admired for her strength and courage. Her ability to laugh again after being faced with some of life's most difficult adversities will be an inspiration to everyone who reads this book. It will give you hope that you too can laugh again no matter what life has in store for you. One of the things that touched me deeply was the desperation she felt and the things she did to hold on to her sanity and find her way back to living after her son's tragic death. However, her wonderful style of humor keeps the book uplifting and ever hopeful. I loved reading this book and Linda's easy writing style. I highly recommend this book and after you have read it you will feel as though you have made a new friend in Linda.
