Drawing on psychology, literature, and her own experience, Viorst moves through parenthood, sex, work relationships, victimhood, and finally the ultimate loss of control at the end of life, gently pushing readers to notice their own patterns of \"there I go again.\" Written with warmth and a light touch despite its weighty subject matter, it's a genuinely insightful read for anyone curious about why we hold on so tightly, and how to find a healthier balance between power and letting go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48205572964564,"sku":"TVJ-025430","price":11.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-025430-1.jpeg?v=1783074707","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-025430","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
