After a childhood fraught with domestic violence and poverty, author, health expert, and yoga instructor Hafiz shares her inspirational story of healing through persistent yoga practice and adherence to a microbiotic diet. In spite of the many obstacles and barriers she encountered growing up, Hafiz earns an education that lands her in the corporate world, only to find the work is not as fulfilling as she'd imagined. Taking courses in macrobiotic cooking and yoga leads her to becoming a personal chef and celebrity yoga instructor. Dysfunctional family ties and history continued to present challenges to her self-esteem and confidence and subsequently to her business and personal relationships. Although her story has many ups and downs, it ultimately shows how a regime of therapy, good food, and body movement provided a foundation for moving beyond the emotional traumas of her past. VERDICT An intimate and inspirational look at one woman's self-discovery abetted by her determination, personal discipline, and radical self-care. It should appeal to readers of yoga success stories, and more widely, self-help and contemporary women's biography.--Janet Tapper, Univ. of Western States Lib., Portland, OR
