Bloomsbury recently contacted me about offering my readers Unfinished Business by Lee Kravitz, a nonfiction book of transformational stories about redemption and reconnecting.
About the book (from Good Reads):
After losing his job, Lee Kravitz, a workaholic in his midfifties, took stock of his life and realized just how disconnected he had become from the people who mattered most to him. He committed an entire year to reconnecting with them and making amends. Kravitz takes readers on ten transformational journeys, among them repaying a thirty-year-old debt, making a long-overdue condolence call, finding an abandoned relative, and fulfilling a forgotten promise. Along the way, we meet a cast of wonderful characters and travel the globe?to a refugee camp in Kenya, a monastery in California, the desert of southern Iran, a Little League game in upstate New York, and a bar in Kravitz’s native Cleveland. In each instance, the act of reaching out opens new paths for both personal and spiritual growth. All of us have unfinished business?the things we should have done but just let slip. Kravitz’s story reveals that the things we’ve avoided are exactly those that have the power to transform, enrich, enlarge, and even complete us. The lesson of the book is one applicable to us all: Be mindful of what is most important, and act on it. The rewards will be immediate and lasting.
Also please view this video, the blog, and the Reader’s Guide.

Honestly, I have so many books on my TBR pile that I really should just read them! And fast!
Ah, unfinished business for me is making good on a promise I made to my husband a while ago (which involves traveling to a place that I have no interest in).
No need to enter me, but I added the giveaway to my sidebar.
Gee, I have a giant unfinished business, to write a book about my quirky ancestors!
