Sidney Rittenberg was imprisoned in China on false charges for sixteen years. Yet instead of being angry, scarred, or bitter, he is merry, affectionate, balanced, and fun. In this book, he offers the welcome news that we are stronger than we think. We can learn ways that can guide us through struggles we never imagined. We can use our minds to deal with negative emotions and help us identify our purpose. Everyone can benefit from these life lessons, learned the hard way.
