In the tradition of Dr. Seuss' "Oh! The Places You'll Go!" and Anna Quindlen's "A Short Guide to a Happy Life" comes this gathering of wisdom perfect for any young person - for graduation, milestone birthdays, etc. What advice do you wish you had heard - really heard - when you were graduating from high school or college? What words could you benefit from hearing again? When Patti Digh asked her readers this question as her own daughter was starting college, the resulting flood of pithy, heartfelt wisdom sparked the idea for this book. What flowed in was beautiful, thoughtful, poignant, and funny.
