I was simply floored by The Foremost Good Fortune. It was so beautifully written overall, with some absolutely stunning passages and sentences in there. It hit me on all sorts of levels, and as such, I find that it is wholly (and widely!) recommendable. There is something in there for the Traveler, the Parent, the Spouse/Partner, the Reader, the Writer, those dealing with Chronic Illness, and for those who appreciate life's details, well-observed. Congratulations to Susan Conley on a beautiful accomplishment.

By the way, the chapter entitled "Clouds or Butterflies" killed me. Absolutely slayed me. What a thing to have happen in the course of a life...

I hope I can sidestep sounding sappy when I say that I feel honored to have read this book. I know it is a thing that is out there for the world to experience, but the intimacy and honesty with which it was written, makes me feel lucky to have read it... So, a big thank you to Susan Conley!

Odds are, if you read this book, you'll love it !
