This is a book that left me questioning my past and how I lug it behind me like a noose. If I can’t grow accustomed to carrying my baggage (those things other people have hefted on top of me without my consent), then how can I expect to meet my full potential? Of course I wasn’t the sole survivor of a plane crash, but Edward’s story provided me with a whole new perspective on how we deal with our past and learn to grow and flourish despite everything we have to carry with us.
