I owe a deep debt of gratitude to all the brilliant minds over the decades who have led me to conclude: There is no best life without books. And then there are the writers who opened my eyes to new cultures or new ideas, like Eckhart Tolle, Isabel Wilkerson, and John Steinbeck. I can’t count the number of aha moments I’ve had while reading: Through authors who became my touchstones- Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, to start-I realized over and over again that I’m not alone, that others have gone through similar things to what I had. They’ve helped me see and understand the world and myself. From the time I was a little girl, books have guided me. You’ve heard me say many times that authors are my rock stars.
