I read the book during my examination season, one story per day. It is truly spirit lifting, i find myself smiling and crying while reading. One story i hold dearest to my heart, "Memoir of a Violin" by Theresa Marie Heim. Reminds me a lot of my dad, he passed away when i was 7. The story described perfectly of how i feel when he passed away. And not forgetting other stories as well, it gives my soul a rest. Truly, heart warming and spirit lifting.

In need of something to lift up your mood? A Cup of Comfort will do that for you. This book is full of inspiring stories that will give hope, motivation, warmth and enrichment to your life. Moreover, I got this in a book sale for half the price! I'm lucky no one picked it up yet. Maybe, it is really meant for me. ^_^
