Review:This book is and an easy read. Following Mr. Goolrick's journey it is hard to understand how someone can heal from the horrific trials of a wounded childhood; yet bringing the secrets out of their hiding places begins the process of healing.

We are not religious so didn't want the god line since it doesn't apply. This has too much of god in it and I come away understanding that only when you are terminally ill do you "get" it.

Review:Great read! I've always wanted to know more about something that affects everyone so dearly. It was very interesting and even hilarious. Yes, there can be humor, even in death. Ultimately, it was very respectably written, and gave educational insight into a little known field. Read more
