Book Details
Recharge your batteries, replenish your soul... Find a new, refreshing perspective on humanity. On the Island of Misfit Joys!
Sometimes we laugh. Other times we cry. Often we are befuddled. Once in a while we figure out a new aspect of ourselves or others that somehow makes us whole. Or at least we can build on what we started. Some interactions go smoothly, but most often they are a convoluted set of misfit experiences that challenge us, enliven us, partially destroy us, and rebuild who we are.
The Island of Misfit Joys offers vignettes that capture some of the joyous aspects of life. Through these stories, you may find yourself approaching your journey with a fresh mindset seeing, that we all can be gifts to this world. Maybe you will see a miracle—a sublime occasion and a delight to witness. This book is about love. It is about gifts. It is about feeling and having epiphanies that may change your entire perspective.
