In kind of a funk; can anyone recommend some uplifting (but not happy-happy or preachy) reading?

Thanks, ya’ll. I am going to order a mix of these from Amazon – I even have a credit from selling back some of S’s books last semester. I am going to try to be more helpful on this forum; I really appreciate that you all took the time to think of a recommendation and write a response. I would say that it made me cry, but these days that would really not be saying a lot :confused:
