Frances Livesay's touching and very wise memoir, Living With No Regrets, is a must-read for men and women alike. The author, a member of the prestigious Bryan family of Mississippi, lived a privileged life and relates with clarity her early years, a childhood where she was paralyzed by the racism around her, causing her to struggle with her faith and feel powerless to seek justice. During her challenging college days she met Shawn, and her friend eventually became her loving husband. After many wonderful years together, Shawn was killed in an accident, and the loneliness and sense of isolation were devastating. Despite her loving friends and family, Livesay struggled with the reality of being alone. In page after page of this compelling and sometimes funny memoir, the reader is reminded of the importance of self-respect, of learning to make decisions, of trusting oneself'¦and of allowing God to do His work so that living is once again a joyful and fruitful gift.
