This book may have changed my life forever. So beautifully-written and easy to read, yet with astounding life lessons throughout. I could not put it down and felt as though I was reading my own life-story. Wonderful for those who have suffered a loss or for those who just never felt like they quite measured up, but were unable to understand why. Moorjani explains it so well, you may have a day-long, healing cry like I did. But, I feel I finished the book stronger than I have ever been and ready to continue rebelliously living my life, my way--only now with affirmation and understanding. I am fearless!! Thank you, Anita!  (PS--I gave the book as Christmas gifts, and the recipients were so amazed, they bought and gave them as gifts as well!)

One of the most heart-warming books I've read! I could totally relate to this character's heartbreak but ultimate emerging strong sense of self. I will be buying copies as xmas gifts for my bestie and my preteen daughters!

This girl lived life more fully than anyone I have EVER met, and she did it from the confines of a small condo in the middle of Iowa. Her spirit will captivate you and make you feel like you've just found a new best friend in her! She speaks from her heart and isn't afraid to be real. She shares the good, the bad, and the ugly all while keeping God the focus! Sara may be gone from us physically, but through her writing, she truly lives on forever! You NEED this book. I am so glad I knew her while she was here on earth, and I am touched to now have a tangible reminder of her beautiful life!

This book is so inspiring. Happiness is a Decision. It's a beautiful thing to know and experience the love of God. The author's life experience is admirable. This is definitely a must read!

Wow! I had the opportunity to read this book and was very impressed not only with the authenticity of the authors, but how practical the exercises were which allowed me to have what I would consider "ah-ha" moments. Regardless of your profession and or personal life, we all have experienced instances of insecurity, frustration, sadness, and anger. What I am present to after reading this book is to acknowledge my feelings and consciously choose to alter my outlook to a positive and uplifting one. I find myself chanting affirmations from the list of Universal Truths provided in this book. What I do know is by allowing myself to be positive, I've already seen improvement in my interactions with coworkers, family and friends within a few short weeks. Imagine what this could do for you? I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking to improve relationships both on a professional and personal level!

Beautiful story of a wife and her family's experience with the realities of cancer. The author takes you on a journey of honest thoughts, experiences, bravery, and healing as a spouse and mother. While reading this book, I was continuously reminded of the importance of life and love through the use of everyday words. With moments of laughter, tears, education, and personal reflection, this book is a must read for anyone!

Such a beautiful story - one of the best books I've picked up this year! You'll find yourself connecting with aspects of all the women -- emotional & uplifting! Celeste did a wonderful job reminding me that forgiveness and love wins above everything else in this world. Read and share with your friends to remind them of what they mean in your life!

This is such a great read! "It's Okay About It" is perfect for any parent or those who are about to be a parent. I love this book. Isn't just about a five year old who has Autism, although you will find such a beautiful and unique God story, you will find yourself looking beyond a label. This book will help you see beauty even when things are hard, especially in the everyday. I love how the small things are the big things that matter the most. This book will bless you in so many ways, I cannot describe. I highly recommend picking up a copy. I was moved to tears, I was happy and most of all, I found myself thinking of every single person who needed a copy of this book! You will love the fresh perspective this book gives. And if that isn't enough, Mareto's little one liners, are enough. I give this book 5/5 stars. Thank you to the publisher for providing me a complimentary copy for a review. A favorable review was not required.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!  I am deeply touched by how open, loving and wise Laurie is and how many hearts and lives she has transformed just by being her very wise, loving and authentic self.  Laurie's soul-force shines through in many of the vignettes shared -- at times poignant and at other moments hilarious.

I was also moved by the extraordinary job her mother did of making life an adventure for the two of them, engaging all kinds of wonderful caretakers for her on a busy international schedule, and navigating life successfully even though it was very challenging at times.  Both mother and daughter are so strong -- and their commitment to each other's well-being is clear and inspiring..

This book was such a source of peace for me.  I loved Jayne Kane's authentic way of writing and did not want the book to end.  So much to learn in here about her journey and her very real way of looking at life with eyes of one who knows truth.  The sections on "Solitude" and "Silence"  have helped me reduce my worrisome ways.  Not often can you hear a real life story from a certified life coach and a strong Christian woman.  You won't forget this book, it is one that will stick with you. Beautiful!

This book echoed the sentiments of my heart! Katrinas voice excels with insight into the thoughts and feelings of women whose children have left the nest and are beginning a new journey of identity. There were so many passages that spoke to me. This is one such quote from the book, I want to age not only with acceptance but with contentment. To do so, I suspect, demands both action and stillness, energy and surrender, a willingness to stretch in new directions even as I make my peace with what is. My book club loved every page of this beautiful book. I highly recommend it.

Captivating and brilliantly written! Ericka shares her eventful life in a way that brings true freedom not just to herself, but to the reader as well. I could picture chains breaking with the start of each new chapter. I gasped, I smiled, I rejoiced while reading this book. You'd think it was a fictitious novel and not an auto-biography. If you think your life has no value or you feel unworthy of God's love because of your past, I encourage you to read this book. It is sure to heal your mind and help catapult you in to a destiny that only you can fulfill! What God has for you, is for you and nothing in your past can stand in the way of one of God's gifts to you in the present - freedom! Her redirected faith has helped me to appropriately direct mine!

Its difficult to describe how precious this book really is. This is a 2017 Must-Read. I literally hung on to every word on every page. I ordered a kindle copy and found myself double tapping every page, as if I was on Instagram, as my Amen! The author took me on a relatable, passionate, and consuming journey...of life, love, pain, Faith and resilience. If there were more stars to rate this book, Id max out without hesitation. I promise this book will not leave you disappointed, but it will leave you anxiously waiting for the next one! Im a fan!

When I picked up this book, I intended to read it as I do most books - a chapter before bed each night.  For the first 2 nights, that wasn't a problem.  But by the 3rd night, the story was so enthralling that I stayed awake until 3a, reading it through to the end!

I've been incredibly blessed to live with this family for the past two months.  The story on the pages IS their real life!  The book will challenge you with its authenticity, it's proof that a life of faith is both challenging AND exciting, and its example of radical trust in God.

If you're looking for a compelling real-life story, this is your book.  If you're pondering adoption, this is your book.  If you're wondering about the character of God or what it means to walk hand-in-hand with Him, this is your book.  Pick it up.  Laugh, cry, and experience God alongside the Mestas family.  You won't regret it!

I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Christine writes in such a way that you feel like you're talking to a best friend and mentor, while also being so fired up by the message she brings! I have never read a book with more vulnerability, grace, and truth. The insights Chris has gleaned from God's work in her life will serve to move and bless countless people. This is essential reading for all women! Prepare to highlight and underline huge chunks of this book as the lines speak directly to your heart!
