While this book is packed with practical wisdom and insight, Brenda Billings Ridgley’s storytelling craft elevates the strength of the message, making it engaging and interesting to read by filling it with real-life anecdotes and stories from the lives of other people. Her dazzling prose is delightful in itself and the authoritative, learned, and compassionate voice grabs the reader and only tightens the grip as readers move from page to page, exploring different topics and strategies to build lasting and meaningful connections.
