Occasionally we explode. And typically, we stumble about, looking for the right words - dreading that we didn't find them and thereby causing more hurt than we should.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a book to help us locate the best possible words to get across a range of life's most difficult messages.
