63/100
👎 Skip It
Melody Beattie knows recovery writing, and this collection of short affirmations leans into that voice, encouraging readers to notice blessings and reframe hard seasons. It's the kind of book you dip into rather than binge — comforting, though it's general 'Higher Power' spirituality rather than explicitly Christian, worth knowing going in.
