"Cheryl Strayed as Dear Sugar is thoughtful, wryly affectionate and funny, compassionate and brutal. Her answers are far longer than the usual advice columns. She spares neither herself or the letter writers. They have told her their deepest fears and hurts and shown her their raw centers, and she is unafraid to rip into her own raw center to give them something true to take back with them."
"Everyone—I mean EVERYONE—should read this book. Cheryl Strayed has a remarkable gift, one she's so willing to share with us, and this book is the perfect package."

Life can be hard: your lover cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can’t pay the bills—and it can be great: you’ve had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar—the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir Wild—is the person thousands turn to for advice. Tiny Beautiful Things brings the best of Dear Sugar in one place and includes never-before-published columns and a new introduction by Steve Almond.
Rich with humor, insight, compassion—and absolute honesty—this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.
