The book arrived damaged. Not sure if it’s been used already or not.
A gifted writer at her mind/heart/soul best! Strayed blends honesty and insight in prose often worthy of being called poetry.
It's in pretty good condition. Nothing noticeable.
Cheryl Strayed has a way of capturing the essence of what it means to be human in her answers to the questions asked to Sugar, all of them thoughtfully chosen to represent the best and worst of the human experience. Her honesty, authenticity and appreciation for nuance make this one of the best reads I've had all year.
This collection of responses from the column "Dear Sugar" has fully transformed the way I write. Whether this is a class essay, a ponteital manuscript for a book, or an amazon review; this woman changed it all. Her ability to cut straight to her point with ought mincing her words, the luxury of her identity being confidential allowing this, brought emotion and complex thought to the forefront of each letter. A few of the letters are sad, some are joyous, but the one that has captured my essence and the essence of those who have read it is the namesake of the book itself: "Tiny Beautiful Things". I have recommended this book to anyone who wants a nonfiction read that they can read short bursts, anyone who wants to learn how to write better, friends, family, classmates; I could go on for at least a page. For the sake of brevity I will end with the idea that this book is not a book to read if you don't feel like experiencing the death of the human condition from all walks of life.
