I read the book last year when I started volunteering with the homeless. What I learned through the book and that experience was that I was able to extend unconditional love to addicts and sex offenders, but I didn't extend that same kind of love to my own family. My love for them was conditional, although I didn't know that before then.

Whew! Yay! The pressure is off. On July 6 I'll be writing my three sample chapters then shipping the proposal off to a great agent who will forward it to at least six publishers who said "yes." Your article has defniitely encouraged me to "just do it" and let it be.
