Synopsis

Sweetness of the Struggle (SOS) includes twenty-seven personal stories elaborating on how this diverse group responded to their life altering experiences. All of them have had an impact on the life of the author, Reva Camiel.

These inspiring stories show how this rainbow of people has used tragedy, adversity and creative moments to reshape their lives. Some who we will meet in SOS are:

"I've been nibbled to death by my followers." Carl Rogers
"Sometimes the struggle isn't so sweet!" Becky, thirteen years old
"I was a walking baby factory." Zana
"I often felt I'd somehow come from another planet. Daniel, forty-year-old male,
"I'll probably die in this life of crime. " A 17 year old incarcerated female
"I felt the humiliation from my nerves to my bones." Akef, a Palestinian male
"I took my rocking chair and left." Cora

SOS also includes concrete tools for making decisions and handling difficult situations.

Dr. Camiel and the courageous people in SOS hope by telling you their stories, they will in some way be part of your support team, during your challenging times.
