Many of us go through life feeling we are failing to be the person we could be. But as this liberating book explores, there is power to be found in imperfection. Ruth Scott encourages us to believe that if we are able to own and work with our complexity, we will find within it great resources. Drawing on stories from her own personal history, the experiences of people she has worked with over the years, poems, art and international news accounts, she celebrates the messiness of being human through revealing the creative potential it offers for real, risky living.
