"While on her way to teach a yoga retreat in March 2014, Rachel Brathen collapses at an airport, brought to her knees by excruciating stomach pains. She is rushed to the hospital on the tiny island of Bonaire, and hours later forced to undergo surgery. When she wakes up from anesthesia, her boyfriend is weeping at her bedside. While Rachel was struck down with seemingly mysterious pain, her best friend, Andrea, sustained fatal injuries as a result of a car accident. Rachel and Andrea had a magical friendship. Though they looked nothing alike -- one girl tall, blond, and Swedish, the other short, brunette, and Colombian -- everyone called them gemelas: twins. Over the three years following Andrea's death, at what might appear from the outside to be the happiest time -- with her engagement to the man she loves and a blossoming career that takes her all over the world -- Rachel faces a series of trials that have the potential to define her life. Unresolved grief and trauma from her childhood make the weight of her sadness unbearable. When Rachel and her husband conceive a child, pregnancy becomes a time to heal and an opportunity to be reborn herself. As she recounts this transformative period, Rachel shares her hard-won wisdom about life and death, love and fear, what it means to be a mother and a daughter, and how to become someone who walks through the fire of adversity with the never-ending practice of loving hard and letting go"--Publisher's description.

For some reason, yoga and memoirs must be popular nowadays since I read one recently but obviously it's not the exact same life.
Rachel's life was not easy and it made it even harder when her best friend Andrea dies in a car accident when she was having emergency surgery close to Rachel's wedding day.
She finds herself through teaching yoga and letting go of her hostilities with her mother in the past and present.
It wasn't an easy book to read and it was very emotional in places as you can imagine. It dragged on for me throughout the book in places and I almost did not finish a few times. Am I happy I finished it? Maybe! ( )
