Her gentle wisdom repeatedly shone light in the darkest places in Emily's life.
With humor and beautiful photographs, this personal narrative offers valuable life lessons and ways to listen for love in the most unexpected places.

-Abram Wilks, licensed clinical social worker
"Sammy the green iguana is brought to life with warmth, enthusiasm, and cleverness. There is so much wisdom about the world wrapped up in one little beloved green iguana girl! This is a big journey through life's important lessons from a unique perspective you will not want to miss!"
