Kitchen Table Wisdom 10th Anniversary I ordered 2 "New" Kitchen Table Wisdom books to be given as gifts. The cover of one of them was crooked and did not cover the first page. The book was simply not made right. I was not allowed to exchange it for another, just send it back and charged a bit to do that.
It turned out all right because I found out another way (not Amazon) to get books at discount and got the 2nd one right away.
Kitchen Table Wisdom by Rachel Naomi Remen:
Although the title sounds simplistic, the contents of this book are
profound. It is a book of inspirational true stories, written by a most perceptive physician/counselor about the wisdom she has gleaned about life and death through her experiences with patients. Each chapter is a new story, and they open windows in our minds and hearts. One of the finest books I have read in years.
Wow!!:
This is one of the most incrediblely healing books you will ever read. You will find yourself refering to it and giving it to friends (like I did) because it is so theraputic. A must read if you are a self-aware person.

I very rarely have read something that I would recommend to EVERYBODY, but this is one book... more info
