Her stories, picked from the tree of life, are dedicated to the ordinary hero in all of us and stand witness to life's natural tendency to heal our wounds. In them, we discover that our life's goal may be the ability to travel together with humor and meaning, with purpose and quality companionship, with warmth and tenderness.Rachel Naomi Remen is the author of 'Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal' with ISBN 9780783893402 and ISBN 078389340X.
