Pastiloff's years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty; deafness taught her to listen fiercely; being vulnerable allowed her to find love, and imperfections led to a life full of wild happiness. She explains how she grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning. Through her journey, Pastiloff conveys the experience most of us are missing in our lives: being heard and being told, "I got you." -- adapted from publisher info
