"Agers-Brooks dislikes people saying, “Let go and let God.” She says she desperately wanted to let go, “but how do you let go of things you can’t get over?” That’s a question many of us ask. We all face those terrible times when life just doesn’t work right.

She presents a broad area of personal issues, and each chapter closes with practical and spiritual insights to enable readers to move through their own heartaches.

I liked this book."
