The Driving Force of Friendship Lorna Ritchie

It started as an offer of a ride to the south of France and continues as a lifelong connection. On that summer day more than a decade ago, as Lorna got comfy behind the wheel of her little Citroen and Godfrey settled in the passenger seat beside her, neither knew how far they, almost strangers, would voyage together. Over the years, as practitioners and teachers of Nonviolent Communication, these two people from very different backgrounds have travelled to destinations and places across Europe, and, enjoyed hours of conversation that took them back in time to their childhoods, through memories and life experiences and deep into their hearts. What they could not have expected is to have arrived at a friendship filled with love and mutual respect, and lots of laughter, that has held them bound through differences of opinion, silences and the ups and downs of life. This book charts that journey.
