Wensel has created an intriguing work that will open readers' eyes to what it means to be free. One thing that stands out right away is the first chapter. With all the talk of politics in this world, Wensel says something that puts America in perspective. She recognizes that America is not perfect. However, she notes that they are still working on it. Isn't that exactly what people are? People are not perfect, but they strive to improve themselves. Wensel also says that people shouldn't take themselves so seriously either. If people make mistakes, instead of being embarrassed or upset, they should attempt to laugh it off. She uses former President Gerald Ford as an example of this trait.
The author provides practical tips to not only live a fearless life but also one with conscience. Wensel's advice comes across as helpful, even though readers won't always agree with everything. Still, they will undoubtedly find a silver lining in the teaching. For example, some may disagree with Wensel's views on immigration, as this has become a highly controversial topic. She believes that Americans do want to help, but for those seeking asylum, it can still be hard. What most people will likely agree on is that freedom is forgiveness, inner peace, uniqueness, and laughter. Her chapter on "Life's Lessons" is possibly the most intriguing part because of the story about her late brother George and her friend Rosalyn. It deals with the effects of bad and good karma. Wensel has written a thought-provoking work that many will likely enjoy
