"Ryan Hyde's latest offering is true to her style — honest, insightful, and
shared from a place that is earthy and sometimes gritty, but quite
beautiful in its simplicity and scope." –Blogcritics Books
By the bestselling author of DON'T LET ME GO and PAY IT FORWARD, this
entertaining and life-affirming collection of autobiographical stories
explores the rewards and challenges of building a happy life of
self-knowledge and creative inspiration, from a writer who has been through
it all.
"What inspired you to write the novel Pay It Forward?"
Years after the publication of Pay It Forward, this is still the most
common question asked of Catherine Ryan Hyde, bestselling and critically
acclaimed author of 20 published and forthcoming books, including Don't Let
Me Go, When You Were Older, and Pay It Forward, the incredible bestselling
novel that led to a movie, a foundation, and an entire social movement.
Everything Pay It Forward became is rooted in a small, but extraordinary
act of kindness, which Catherine received as a young adult. It was one
moment that caused her to look at life in a different way. It was a moment
of pure, human inspiration.
In THE LONG STEEP PATH: EVERYDAY INSPIRATION FROM THE AUTHOR OF PAY IT
FORWARD, Catherine shares her story, as well as what inspires her, in a
series of funny and totally engaging autobiographical stories that are at
once personal and universal.
