Subtle and informative, this book infuses humor and wit as readers reflect upon their own experiences and are tuned into the experiences of others.

Excerpts:
"As children, we were not given the most but taught to appreciate the least."
"I learned how to accept the fact that everyone will not think that I am the most beautiful person; but just as I found beauty within myself, someone else would find beauty in me as well."
"Being neighborly" was...a bit like mandatory community service."
"A man's name was ultimately viewed as the mirror image of his legacy. It was looked at as something similar to a "bowl of life." Everything that he did during his lifetime was put inside of his name."
