Survival Lessons- Alice Hoffman

Not that one ever really needs a reason to pick up an Alice Hoffman novel but Survival Lessons is especially pertinent to today’s world. Though our journeys are unique, we are all trying to survive something and a little assistance doesn’t hurt.

Hoffman wrote this novel because it is what she was looking to read when she was undergoing her battle with cancer. In a magical voice that only she can conjure, Survival Lessons is full of pearls of wisdom for living a happy, unapologetic life. There’s also an alluring recipe for a sumptuous chocolate cake. I’m so excited to veganize it, add a little Practical Magic Tipsy twist, and dive in.

Anyways, I do hope many of you will look into picking up a copy. It’s small and can be read in a couple of hours but it’s also one you’ll probably fill with page flags, underlines, and return to often.
