I have known this book for over 13 years it was originally published in 1994 and was recommended by my then Dominican girlfriend in New York. It is a book I read once a year as a guide to be a self help book without the recommendation by Oprah Winfrey and have lent the book to friends and former associates to read rarely receiving it back, however since travel is restricted I have had to buy the book again to read during another lockdown. So its important that Isabel Allende a Peruvian writer based in the LA west coast and now writes books with her love of Japanese culture is a wonderful enriching author with well developed characters usually Woman and empowerment and a heartfelt connection to any plot arc she desires. This story was the first of hers set in America to portray American characters prior to that her stories were based in the practical magical ideas within South American culture. The Infinite Plan is a wonderful tale of Gregory one man’s search for love, and his struggle to come to terms with a childhood of poverty and neglect. His father as a traveling preacher which due to this caused him fraught in his ideals and upbringing. As he journeys from the Hispanic barrio in Los Angeles to the killing fields of Vietnam to the frenetic life of a lawyer in San Francisco. Gregory Reeves loses himself in an illusory and wrongheaded quest. Only when he circles back to his roots does he find the love and acceptance he has been searching for. The idea of this is about acceptance and learning your path to happiness and with all life's lessons learnt along the way. Ironically this is not highly recommended as a book by Allende but to me it far surpasses most of her other work.. Read full review
