“This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.”

“We are taught as we grow up about what impresses others but not about how to find our way and live our lives. When you know where you are going, the bumps are nonexistent or meaningless and cannot stop our moving forward and living a full life.”

“Pat Wetzel’s Bump in the Road recounts so many lives of personal challenge and subsequent growth. Through these remarkable stories, Pat shares bumps in the road and bumps in the air too. Her stories illuminate the journey of the human soul and invite the reader to learn from her stories and others so that we may all find some lift and soar to our highest levels.”

“Pat Wetzel has crafted a guide for life’s toughest times. The roughest moments really are infuriatingly effective in accelerating our personal and spiritual growth! We don’t like it, don’t want it, and are threatened by it . . . yet troubling times wake us up to what is most important, and even more, to what we are, which is more magnificent than we can imagine.”

“The struggles have so much energy for transformation, so let’s not only go through them but grow through them. Don’t waste the crisis!”
