With humor and grace, Hellyer tackles topics such as equality, depression, homosexuality, love, the power of words, and the importance of education. Among life's inevitable fears, anxieties, disappointments, and challenges, Hellyer finds laughter, unconditional family support, goodness, and enduring friendships.For anyone who wants to embrace life, with all its imperfections, and demand a more exuberant and satisfying journey, this upbeat collection will push you to discover what it means to be human and jumpstart the process of celebrating every day and living life to its fullest.
