on a Charmed Life.
“This book offers readers a wild rose bouquet, thirty-three exquisite personal essays loosely and lovingly tied together with one sinuous silk ribbon of a timeless theme: cultivating a passion for life by embracing every aspect of it.” ZsuZsa Simandy, LMSW, is a holistic therapist with a private practice in New York and Connecticut.
