breath of fresh air to have Diane Ladd bring her compelling
life story to us. In this book, Diane tells us of how she has

so fully brings hope and laughter and growth and healing,
not just to individuals, but also to this world, where true
healing is so desperately needed.”

between the lines.”

“If you want guidance and help in healing and surviving, read
this book and learn from those who have preceded you
rather than your own disasters. There is much wisdom

people involved, but learn from their experience and
realize
that we are all wounded. I heartily recommend
Diane Ladd’s
book to help you heal your wounds.”

together with miracles, this graceful, meticulous, and wonderfully written book offers page after page of life-affirming wisdom,
spiritual guidance, hope, and humanity. To share even a
ten-minute cup tea in her circle of light is an inspiration.
She embraces life and love with her arms wide open.”
