Abstract:
This moving and revelatory book will inspire readers to see that it is often that which gives us the deepest sorrow in life that can bring us the greatest joy. "Great love and great suffering are part of the spiritual journey" writes Chris Goodchild, who has Asperger's Syndrome. "Suffering can not only break us down, it can also break us open.".
