""I read Chai on Life on the plane and just finished it at home. I thought it was totally charming and poignant! I laughed out loud a number of times and enjoyed her clever use of words. Plus, there was so much I could relate to. She sounds like someone I would love to have as a friend. The woman behind me on the plane told me as we are getting off that she was peeping at some of the pages I was reading and thought it was a wonderful book! Overall, a really enjoyable and warm-hearted read!"" --CINDY PAILET, CO-OWNER OF BONNIE BRAE ICE CREAM, DENVER, CO ""A joyous, uplifting, and honest handbook for life that, thankfully, is infused with kindness."" --SIMON VAN BOOY, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SIPSWORTH, EIGHT OTHER BOOKS OF FICTION, AND THREE ANTHOLOGIES OF PHILOSOPHY ""Lorie Kleiner Eckert's delicious CHAI ON LIFE is certain to give you a burst of thoughts, ideas, visions, and dreams--like a cup of chai, guaranteed to provide a boost of joy and energy that will fuel your day!
