Book Reviews

“Through vivid vignettes and personal reflections, Lafaces’s authentic voice guides us through her search for meaning in this heartfelt and sincere memoir.”

– Daphne Leonie Wright, award-winning author of On Love and Death and Belonging

“The author has truly thought deeply about life, about the emotional instability that living entails, and finally, after a truly tumultuous life, came to know a self that could be happy, and in her words, ‘expecting nothing and being grateful for everything.’
We meet Rose in a rural setting and follow her struggles as she works to gain control over her life, ending with a remarkable rebirth – a true autobiography.”
