Beautifully Intertwined

I heard this author on NPR, and wanted to know more. I'm not sure the cover would have made me make the purchase, so I'm glad I had a different introduction to the book. A deft writer, Lori weaves her own personal story of the loss of love with tales of notable patients, and there's something in every story that resonated with me. She's real in her emotions, fair in her perceptions, accepting in her estimations, and ultimately hopeful in her resolutions. I found myself craving every chapter, and feeling as if I could be friends with all the characters, flaws and all. A great message of acceptance of oneself and others, and some life lessons along the way.
