We all face challenges in different aspects of our lives, tackling this challenges comes with hardwork, persistency, resilience and acceptance. Whether we are able to tackle these challenges or not depends on the choice of our decisions. Go forth from where you are by Tova Herman is a book that has lots of lessons in it which will help reshape your thoughts about your everyday life toward positivity.

Go forth from where you are talks about Tess and her Dyybuk. Tess happens to face some challenges with her father and son in the guise of her Dyybuk. Her relationship with her father was a smooth one from the beginning until her father decides to leave. Her father's decision which now brought a distance between them left Tess thinking if she was the reason why her father left. Years later her father passed on because of some health illness which was unknown to her till after his death, Tess however started blaming herself because she was unable to stay by his side during his last few days on Earth.

Tess relationship with her son(Norm) became sour when Norm brought home his fiance, a foreigner to come stay with them. As Tess was unable to maintain a close relationship with her to be daughter-in-law, Norm felt the problem is from his mother which made him decide to leave their home, thereby taking his fiance and they flew to another country where they settle down after their wedding. Tess became unhappy because of this and she decides to fight this chaos by finding the solution to her problems. How did Tess find the solution to her problems? What tactics did she use to conquer her challenges and heal her mental and emotional state? Find out by grabbing a copy of this fascinating book and explore through the life journey of Tess right from her past to the present.

What I like about this book is that the author lays emphasis on the title of each chapter intending to educate the readers more about reality including education, health, religion, emotions and many other.
Another thing I like about this book is the fact that with each foreign words the author used in the book, it comes along the meaning (italicized). This would stop the readers from searching the dictionary while reading.

One thing I don't like about this book is that in the first few chapters the author introduces new characters with no enough clarification which can make the story a little confusing for the readers to know who is who. But the rest of the chapters are well written focusing on each character one at a time.

This book is professionally edited. I rate this book 3 out of 4 starts. I recommend this book to people who would like to redress their ideology about life and it will be suitable for religious people as this book lays emphasis on religion in it vast knowledge. I found no profane word in this book, also there are no sex scene in this book.
