This was the first book in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series that I read. I am a huge fan of these books and have never been disappointed by any of the inspirational stories and words of wisdom offered in this series. This is probably my favorite of all of the books, possibly because it was the first one I read. I truly believe that there is something to inspire anyone in here. The stories are all beautifully written and touching. These are perfect gifts as well, especially for those people on your gift list who seem to have everything. There is definitely a good reason why so many of these books make it to the best sellers list. They are great books that appeal to everyone- regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some inspiration.
