"Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help [in her artistic endeavors], she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for--as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this--that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this ... book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of the art of asking"--Amazon.com.

One of my new favorites: submitted by mgnlws on August 16, 2020, 11:38am Randomly picked up at the Ann Arbor PTO, I finished it the day after I bought it. Palmer gives us an honest and moving account of the vulnerability of being human. I especially loved the candid way in which she offers her own personal experiences that speak to larger universal truths about longing, loss, love, and life. 10/10
