I really liked this book because when you think you are the only person having a hard time or that no one understands, read this book... It is amazing what kind of problems people have and not just in our country, but in others. Katie makes you realize your problem for yourself. No one will tell you what it is and then makes you think how can I fix it myself. In this book, there are people who are going through a divorce and it makes you think about someone else's relationship problems and, again, puts them into perspective for you. The day I read this book, I was so upset with my life. There were things that I wanted and couldn't have, but reading this made me remember that I am who I am because of the way my life is. If I didn't go through some of the trying things that I have gone through, my story would be different, therefore, I would be different. If there are things in your life that aren't right, you think or you just aren't happy with your life, read this book. It will give you real perspective.
