A Special Kind of Magic

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the hardships in your life, and find yourself wishing you could retrieve some of the lost magic of your childhood? If so, you'll be delighted to read Bonnie Kelley Kaback's autobiographical book, "Tinkerbell Jerusalem". Kaback's life has been filled with unexpected challenges ever since she was nine years old, when her idyllic home life began to splinter apart. Kaback describes how she managed to find sparkles of love and joy in spite of the hardships she encountered as things didn't go the way she'd hoped and expected. There is a special kind of magic that Kaback describes which has the power to transform our feelings from sorrow to joy, from anger and fear to laughter and love. Kaback coins a term for this magic as "inbetweens" to describe those special memories or experiences that help us find our way to living a more fulfilling life. These "little things" are catalysts that can and do transform the world when we respond to others with love, rather than reacting from fear or anger. Even very old pain from injury, divorces, and parental alcoholism can be healed, as Kaback so beautifully describes. Her prose is written with rare eloquence, which makes her story a joy to read from beginning to end. If you're at all sentimental, I recommend that you read this book with a box of Kleenex. It will touch your heart, and leave you feeling a renewed connection to everything you love most in this world.
