From the back cover, "Dan Wakefield won much praise for his own spiritual autobiography, Returning, which chronicles his dramatic return from drug and alcohol abuse and isolation. His many books include the bestselling novels, Going All the Way and Starting Over." Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, said of this book, "What a wonderful book is Dan Wakefield's The Story of Your Life. Surely it will help many people to write their own spiritual autobiographies, and so to become more aware of their own journeys. Many of the stories shared in this book are not only deeply moving, but challenging, too."
