Pruning

I think the part about pruning was a huge eye opener by author that I connected well with. Beautiful story.

How much the author loves her Italian life.

I found the author’s voice not energized enough. I kept dozing off and having to restart the audio.

Italy read poorly

I enjoyed the parts set in Italy. The reader lacked emotion in her rendition of the story.

Perspective and perseverance

Enjoyed and appreciated the segments on pruning and pursuing the best. Also, appreciated slowing down and healing during the eventualities of life. God is good!

It makes me want to go see the places!

The pruning of the good fruit to encourage the best of what is left encouraged me. It was the right book for me in this moment!
