You're sitting at a stop light, waiting for the light to turn green. While there, you consider the roads your life has taken. You realize that maybe it's time for a change. Maybe you should alter your direction. Are you brave enough to take a necessary turn toward a new goal? Don't be afraid. The light is turning for you; just put the pedal to the floor.

N.M. Corcoran's <i>The Pedal on the Right</i> is a collection of poems, short stories, and general observations that will inspire you to turn the wheel of life and head in the right direction. There is so much to learn and so much to love! For instance, in "DUH," Corcoran notes the difference between men and women behind the wheel; in "Amen," she retraces the life and death of a dear friend.

This isn't another <i>Chicken Soup for the Soul;</i> this is hearty meat and potatoes for every inch of you-physical, emotional, and spiritual. It is easy to read, easy to share, and immeasurably useful as you hazard the crowded roads of your life. Whether in traffic or smooth sailing, we all need a pick-me-up now and then!
