Book Club Queen

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

by Heike Nicks
(Chesapeake, VA, USA)

This book was given to me as a Christmas gift about five years ago. I read it in one sitting and the book still means a lot to me today. The story is told as a fable and reminded me of stories I had enjoyed as a kid.

The reason I loved this book above all others is the fact that it had the power to pick me up at a very low time in my life. I had recently broken up with someone I thought was the love of my life (at the time) and was floundering. I felt like I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and that I had no power over the decisions that I needed to make.

This book may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it because of the impact it had on me. I felt after reading this book that I was in control of my destiny. The story is about following your dreams and after I read it I believed my dreams were possible.
