“The Big Difference” by Nicola Phillips has had a profound influence on my life. I bought it in 2007, but I re-read it often.

One of the books that helped me find the courage to start making films is “The Big Difference” by Nicola Phillips. I bought it on New Year’s Day in 2007, about 14 months before I said yes to the journey that would become Abandoned Allies. The book is great, and I recommend it to anyone dreaming of a life they’re not yet living — but deeply desire.
