Rave Reader Reviews
Steering Through it, by Lynn McLaughlin
“I really enjoyed this book. It is easy to read and is about one woman’s reactions to and handling of the news she was suffering from a brain tumour. It is not just only from her point of view but also those of her family and describes in detail the behaviours and feelings of someone suffering from a brain injury. ” – Amazon Review
You Can't Buy Love Like That, by Carol E. Anderson
“The writing left me laughing, in tears, and inspired. Our lives are decades apart and I haven’t had her exact experiences, but the story struck a chord. The retelling of the events and feelings surrounding her coming out felt like an invitation to be a better person and always be true to whoever I discover I am.” – Amazon Review
I Know It in My Heart, by Mary E. Plouffe
“A heartrending story of loss and grief in children. Mary Plouffe’s story provides the range of emotions that adults experience when in grief along with an insightful understanding of a child’s experience and how the act of walking with the child together through the grieving process can make all of the difference.” – Amazon Review
Writing Your Life, by Ann Hamer
“Every person’s life matters. Everyone’s life is worth telling. This is an ideal to which Ann Hamer adheres, you can be sure. She’s an active memoir-writing coach, with many groups, and classes and seminars, and it shows in the detail upon interesting and helpful detail and schemata she cites to assist you to achieve your goal of writing your memoir.” – Amazon Review
But My Brain Had Other Ideas, by Deb Brandon
“Superb! I am a (lapsed) Occupational Therapist and educator with a particular interest in neurology and sensory and cognitive differences. As a professional, I am struck with the author’s precise, descriptive and insightful presentation of her experience.” – Amazon Review
Prisoners Without Bars, by Donna O'Donnell Figurski
“My wife’s brain injury has also changed the course of our family’s life. It’s inspiring to read Donna’s account of those early days in her and David’s journey. All brain injuries are vastly different, but all of us that find ourselves as a caregiver, it’s important to realize and remember that we are not alone.” – Amazon Review
