A metaphor for a life well lived, author Rebecca Meredith's story takes place in the healing process after a great loss-the kind many have experienced: that of her mother six years ago on Mother's Day weekend. Losing her wasn't the final straw-more like the only straw. In Lessons in Life, Meredith shares a collection of life sayings, quotes, and essays from the heart accented with colorful photos taken along the Gulf Island National Seashore in Florida. The selections address a variety of subjects from time, to healing, and to forgiveness, offering both comfort and advice. Lessons in Life gives insight into grief and its aftermath. It encourages you to learn to face the adversity, get up off the ground, and continue toward healing and success. Meredith, through her personal experiences, discusses the importance of showing up and playing the game of life well.
