Sleep often eludes. We try this and we try that. Still, the night gives a wakeup call we'd rather not answer. "Having Tried Everything" is the story of a terminally lonely insomniac who does answer. Stepping from the rut of routines and rituals, moving from the known to the unknown, she discovers, not only mercy and abundance but who she is and the travesty and redemption of what it means to be human. "Having Tried Everything" is at once actual, metaphorical, providential and inexplicably true. The "YOU" in the story is both the reader and the writer. The very act of embracing this narrative provides the first step toward the wonderland of connection, acceptance and gratitude. Where words abbreviate the astonishment of God's signature on creature and creatures, the illustrations enhance and annotate. Suitable for all dreamers and courageous pragmatists
