DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you ever wondered why everyone else's life seems better than yours? Have you ever felt like you're different and you don't fit in? Have you ever complained to yourself that no one really "gets" you? Alice A Hoffman spent 57 years thinking she was the only one who felt separate and alone. We watch as she shreds her relationships with others in a kind of blind inner fury; losing her mother's company and her friendships with just about everyone who loves her. Alice A Hoffman has poured the marrow of her life onto the pages of this book. When you read and absorb for yourself her deep sadness and confusion as a child, you will understand how a person might grow up to be what we call a "jerk." What follows is this frank and moving account written as a gesture of reconciliation and friendship to the world. Holding out her once broken heart for us to see, she humbly offers hope to all of us lost - for a day or for a lifetime - in silent chambers of fear and emotional pain. In this book you'll discover: There's no such thing as "normal." You are perfect just the way you are. What the word "no" can do for you. The power of forgiveness. Join Alice in her journey from suffering to happiness and you're sure to discover your own lessons along the way."
