"It's chaos out here, all the formless energies melding and spinning around each other without restriction, combining, separating again, losing and finding their way. Playing in the Everywhere, in-between, waiting to see what's next." What would it mean to live forever? Would it mean endless chances to figure it out - to find harmony with the Earth, with time, with nature, with ourselves? Endless chances to discover how to be truly alive. And to find love in all its infinite forms.

Simply not meant to be. We see the same stars, and the moon, even the same dreams at night. Our souls are longing to re-unite and only in each other's presence we can see the worlds true beauty. Though something significant lies inbetwen us, something impossible to ever overcome. Or is it?

A (self-)love anthology capturing all the feelings of the heart, centering different people struggling with the same thing over several years and probably the most complicated love story of their lives: the one with themselves. Dive into different emotional journeys ranging from body image over to mental health. All of the characters hope to end up in a place of acceptance and love, no matter in which place, how long ago and with whom they started. After all everyone's self love is different, some quiet, some loud, some hard fought for and none of them should be disregarded whatsoever.

While words cannot always depict the brutality of reality, the emotions experienced never fail to paint an accurate picture in the mind. It's hard to read about these stories, but it's even harder to see the pain in their eyes. So many achievements with which fascinating people have enriched mankind, many more disasters have been brought upon the world by the same creatures. It is easy to assume that people are basically good, but it is an endless struggle to find all the causes that this assumption fails its consistency, leading to a more persistent malice and bigotry in the nature of people. It is people who wage wars, it is people who destroy homes, who speak of high morals and betray them in seconds. But it is also people who fight for justice, people who protect the truth and kill with kindness. If people are indeed fundamentally good, then the spark that emanates from those who are true to this root is the reason for the hope that, as in fairy tales, good can conquer evil.

Wetherall lived in fifteen houses and five countries by the time she was nine. She didn't think this was strange until Scotland Yard showed up, and she discovered her father was a fugitive and their family name was an alias. In 1983, the year she was born, her parents went on the run with three young children, traveling across Europe, their expenses paid for with drug money. It was over the summers spent visiting her dad in prison in California that he told her the truth: he had been a pot smuggler in the seventies, and his organization had bought in marijuana worth nearly a half billion dollars from Thailand. Here Wetherall pieces together the story of her parents' past, which ultimately helps her understand her own. -- adapted from publisher info.

This book is written more in a descriptive way about the life of two sisters and their activities with or without their parents. From the first chapter you can see the character of the girls as of course different, but malleable when it comes to their parents. This can be discovered throughout the chapters. By reading this book, you can learn the value of a family in the life of some children. Even if participating in the activity or not, in the family, the girls are always positively surprised by their beloved parents. Their minimal description, in this book, is certainly full of good lessons. Not only that they are united, but this family is built so beautifully between the chapters, with almost all the characters playing their main roles in it. The reader is, of course, free to understand these lines as he sees fit, but he will certainly not be disappointed by the small lessons in it.
