ReviewKara Tippetts’ story is beautiful and truly inspiring. It is about living every day and being grateful for that moment. It is about learning how to discover the joy of life even through the pain. This reminds me of the common quote, “Live well. Laugh often. Love much.” There is so much power in living life and being happy. Kara teaches and inspires readers with her tender story. I would recommend this book to readers that are struggling in life and need a boost, or those that just want to be inspired.
