Tiny Beautiful Things

By Cheryl Strayed

Categories: Self-Help

Cheryl Strayed collects letters and replies from Dear Sugar, the advice column she wrote anonymously for the literary website The Rumpus before revealing her identity in 2012. Readers write to Sugar about infidelity, grief and money trouble, and about the quieter pain of a marriage gone stale. Strayed answers with candor and stories from her own life, offering advice that is less about rules than about how to keep going when life falls apart.

• Shane Parrish: “In a way Sugar’s advice columns — combined into the amazing collection Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar — represents an ad hoc memoir.”
