About the Book:

THE BOOK OF CALAMITIES – Touching and real

What does it mean to suffer? What enables some people to emerge from tragedy while others are spiritually crushed by it? Why do so many Americans think of suffering as something that happens to other people—who usually deserve it? These are some of the questions at the heart of this powerful book.


Combining journalism, personal narrative, and moral Philosophy, Peter Trachtenberg tells stories of grief, tragedy, and strength.

Hi, Suffering is something I have questioned about life many times! My family raised me with the mantra that
“What doesn’t kill me, will only make me stronger!” I wonder about this. Please enter me in your delightful book drawing. I appreciate it. Many thanks, Cindi
