Here's what a few of them are saying:
"Couldn't put it down - I opened this book and glanced at the first page, intending to read it later when I had more time. Well, I couldn't put it down! It was engrossing and entertaining, with well-developed characters and themes. I was sad when the book ended because I wanted more." - Savannah Brentnall
"A Must Read - for all women ... truly inspirational and a wonderful book." -Frances Jaynes
"Wild Ride! - If I'd read this book earlier in life I might have saved myself some grief! The love of her life is a real prince. I'll bet a lot of people who read this book won't believe he exists. He's a fully realized man, so rare in this world. What a wild ride. I could hardly put it down. How brave this woman is to open herself up to the world the way she does. Oprah should get behind it. It's her kind of book!" -Laura Benedict
"Thoroughly enjoyed it - Every woman who's had a bad relationship, a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship, or children that needed protection from an alcoholic father should read this book! Here's a woman who has let herself become a victim throughout her young adult life and gathers the strength and conviction to overcome all the bad things in it. It brings a positive message to us all - you can do anything if you believe that you can. I found myself truly loathing her wicked husband and adoring the one who becomes the love of her life. If you want a story that will make you laugh and cry, and feel inspired at the end, this is the one!" - Debra L. Becker
"A Great Read!" - Janell C. Bushman
"Attention Book Clubs ... Excellent Discussion Book! It helped me to be somewhat introspective, and that was helpful. I loved her 'Mama' - selfish though she appeared, what a great character - and she was a real person. I'm recommending it to all my friends." - Lee Brown
"A truly inspirational story - the family reminded me a little bit of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood story because the mother-daughter relationship makes you laugh and cry at the same time. I highly recommend this book" -Rita Dubnewych
"A Good Read - my girlfriend loved this book, so one rainy Saturday I checked it out. I have to tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are a wide range of male characters in the book that fascinated me, and I loved the author's family. They were dysfunctional, but they loved each other so much, and it made me think a lot about my own family. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who likes to read about relationships of all kinds." - Donald W. Weller
"A painful yet heroic journey - the author paints her story in a way that you can identify with her. She vividly describes the steps she took to become a healthy vital woman of strength. A must read for every woman ... and for every man who cares about the woman in his life." - Sandra Bourgeois
