A Secret Core of Joy

Part memoir, part travelogue, part spiritual journey, A Secret Core of Joy is, more than anything, an inspirational manual for living. In spare, honest prose, Ellin Randel examines the people, places, and things that have made her life worth living. In doing so she elicits the essence of what gives every life its bitter and its sweet, gently serving up wisdom and insight that stay with her reader. It is the rare memoir that escapes self-indulgence. This one is it.
