About this product
Product Information
I Never Promised You a Goodie Bag is a warm, wise, and wholly original memoir of survival, renewal, and transformation, by one of New York City's most successful and respected special events coordinators. With her top-level events company, Save the Date, Jennifer Gilbert has worked with Fortune 500 companies, broadcast media giants, international nonprofit organizations, and celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Bill Gates and beyond. Yet few of her clients or colleagues have known, until now, that Jennifer not only a self-made success: she's also a survivor. After a random, near-fatal attack left her body in critical condition on a crowded city street, and left her with emotional wounds that would take years to heal, Jennifer embarked upon a journey to reclaim her life. This is her story, in her own words: I Never Promised You a Goodie Bag , an intimate, poignant, inspiring memoir of perseverance, rediscovery, and hope.

Outstandingly good International seller ! Super fast postage and just 10 days delivery from time of order.
Exceptionally well priced, this Dog movie compilation sells for outlandish prices except from ThriftBooks.
Most of the movies are pretty slow moving and bad, but there are a few good ones. So, 3 out of 10 for the
DVD set, and 10 out of 10 for the seller, who is Highly Recommended ! - Many thanks !!!
