You may have seen Elizabeth Gilbert on Oprah, or you may have already read one of her award nominated books, such as Stern Men, or The Last American Man. However, if you were like me, you had never heard of our New Jersey neighbor until she made it on Oprah’s famous book club list. And, to be completely honest, I hadn’t even seen her still until my grandmother surprised me with a package from her Arizona residence. This was truly unusual as I haven’t received a book from her since I was 12. I figured this must be important.

The story describes the personal and intimate journey of the author, Elizabeth Gilbert with great compassion, wit, and inisight. Her memoir takes you through her divorce, devestating depression and then beyond the lost relationship with her beloved soul mate, David. To overcome her pain, Gilbert prescribes herself with a personal mission to experience pleasure, peace and the balance of the two. This journey of transformation and awakening takes her to Italy, India, and Indonesia where her self actualization leads her to one word that best describes who she has now become.
