Publisher Description
Life can be hard: your lover cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can’t pay the bills. And it can be great: you’ve had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar - the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed, author of the best-selling memoir Wild - is the person thousands turn to for advice. Tiny Beautiful Things gathers the best of "Dear Sugar" in one place and includes never-before-published columns and a new introduction by Steve Almond. Rich with humor, insight, compassion - and absolute honesty - this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.

Advice from the best friend you wish you had...
Cheryl’s candour, insight, and beautiful style make her the best friend you always wanted. And I know I will reread this book many times for new truths to be unearthed, breathed in, and be inspired by.
And to those that complained about her own stories taking prominence, I ask you to remember that we have always learned from stories passed down over the ages. It encourages us to ponder and apply each story to our lives instead of being told what to do. We don’t learn by being told. We learn when we gain understanding. There is a wisdom in each one of Cheryl’s reminiscences that can teach us if we are only willing to listen with an open ear, heart, and open mind.
