Loved this one! Makes you think about what is important in life.
Hello,
Just got the book on Libby (audio version) and can’t locate a table of contents. Anyone care to share or when sharing page assignments share by chapter, which I can see?
Thanks!
Can’t join you for the meetings, but thanks for making me aware of this book. I will be putting it on my list of books I want to read!
Liking this book! Joan has a serious work ethic that most in the book are having a hard time with lol. Hoping by the end she finds a better balance but Joan seems to be okay with it
So far my take-away is “what is “Okay?”
My feeling is that it depends on which side of the question you are on, the lens you are looking through, and many other concepts.
I look forward to following the journey of the characters in this book.
