sometimes a bit too

DEC

2007

ELizabeth speaks equally well of the deeply personal turmoils in her life and the universal problems of trust, hurt, confusion we lal face as we move from accepting all that "happens to us" to realizing our own responsibility for our joys and our sorrows. Her diary of her travels and quests are both funny and heartbreaking; always real, tangible and believable. She has gone on a journey that has been internal and all over the worl,d and we get to see both of these landscapes through her descriptoive and emotion-evoking prose. I felt at the end that I had shared some small steps of the journey WITH her, and look forward to going on the next journey as well.
