Legit Tears Were Shed

To start off, when I began reading this book, I was pretty low on expectations. I've never cared for third person stories, but I stand corrected with Tanya Huff's "The Silvered".

First, I was thrown into this intense setting of war, and was kind of confused. But, as I continued reading reluctantly, I began to understand things and really get into the world of the book. There were moments when I had tears and my eyes. Manly tears indeed, and I now announce this as my favorite book of all time. Please buy this if you love werewolves, magic, and overall, a brilliant plot. I spend $30 bucks for this at Barnes and Noble. It's fantastic, and I have no regrets. <3

This book had me and shock and tears. I couldn't put it down. I've been up since yesterday. It's aching my heart and tears. If your one that's sensitive on abuse and child abuse. This is heavy. Casey young and cute has been sexually abused by his father for trade of child pornography and Lou huge big full of caring and love. One will not see cause if his appearance. I will not spoil it for all but just know women abused and child sexually abused and so much is in this book. For after reading this I can truly say when two people are meant to meet and be in each other's life nothing can get in the way. No matter what ones been through. The shn will shine through the rain. Thanks so much for this book. WOW!!!!!

This is a tour de force of the heart. Ive been literally crying through ninety percent of the story. Its made of feelings! Big, true, solid, outpouring, poignant feelings.

I must confess that I felt like giving up plenty of times. Too much sadness and unfairness. Yet I couldn't give up. I couldn't do that to this story or the spirit that inspired it. I guess Im too sensitive to these issues and thats why my reaction was so visceral. It was bound to touch me deeply. It scares me. And every page in The Empty Jar was filled with the real touch of love, of family, of terrible loss, and true understanding of the meaning of all those things.

I had to stop reading frequently to breathe. Every time, I convinced myself that Id come back stronger, capable of withstanding the overwhelming emotion, capable of withholding the waterworks. Well no. I wasn't strong enough. Every time the tears would just start again.

Im not really the kind of person who reads tragic love. I did it this time only because I know where it all comes from, whats behind this authors journey that she had to pour it in the most beautiful, heartbreaking words Ive ever read.

I want to say that it was worth every tear because of the quality of the writing and the depth of the story. Nat and Lenas love is the most courageous, beautiful treasure. I don't know how I survived till the end, but I finished with a quivering heart, and amazed.

Be warned: this is not an easy thing to read. Be strong because youll need to be, but at least TRY like I did. This is not read. This is experienced with all your body and soul.

This book brings me to my knees with how much it makes me feel, it's as if a piece of my very own soul was ripped out just to be replaced with it. 10/10 would cry again

This book was so beautifully and eloquently written.  I read it over several days, it is almost impossible to put down.  This book is a major tear jerker, though.  It has been a long time since I have literally sobbed while reading a book.  You actually feel sad when it is over, like you just want to read it again.  It was heartbreaking to see what an amazing father he was to his baby daughter, and that he had just 12 weeks with her.  I also loved, loved the writing style of Lyz Glick.  The way that she described things, people, and events made you feel like you were right there.  Well done!!!!

This book was touching. Although I am not a man, I've always felt crying is a form of weakness.  But as a Christian tears are one of the greatest and most common forms of self expression.  I thank Pastor Davis for sharing his testimony with me and the world.  This book offered several lessons and I am proud to say that I learned something and I plan to continue to work on myself, but most importantly get out of GOD's WAY while he is working on me.  This book was well written, the way he added the BIBLE verses to show how they related to his situation was extremely insightful.  Buy the book and learn from it. Amen! I know M.T. Truly has tears running down his smiling face....tears of JOY!

I wept so bad I had a pain in in my chest. I hit the highs and lows of emotions. The way the author told the tale I felt like I had been pulled live into the limo as if it was some sort of virtual reality. From joy at the elopement to heartstopping fear that Hunter would die, I got so emotional, I had to turn off the kindle for 15 minutes or so and calm down.  All the couple's were affected for the better and the love scenes were tender and poignant. I am going to re-read this series from the beginning again. Kayla keep writing, you are a national treasure. Everyone of your books belongs on the best seller list. Your number 1 can, Gerri Credidio Age 73

If youve read the blurb you know that a dear friend of the Four Ladies has died. The Four Ladies used to be the Fresh Five, friends from middle school.

We start with Sabrinas death, or homecoming, as she calls it. She has made a final directive that her four besties put aside their differences and become besties again. The four don't want to. At all. They have a secret in their past, one which tore them apart in senior year. Sabrina knew the secret, but wanted them all to forgive each other and love each other again. Boy, did that Sabrina know how to pull strings from her grave!

This is as much of the story as I can relate right now. Im still raw. I cried all the way through the book. Not because Sabrina is dead, she had come to accept her death. It was what the remaining four went through as they slowly came to grips, each in their own way, with her final directive. Sometimes the tears were happy tears. When I say happy, I mean joyous. Sometimes my tears were of absolute fury at how they treated each other. Sometimes with sadness at how each was dealing with not only the secret of senior year, but other secrets as well.

Im not normally into womens fiction. Give me horror or science fiction, and Im all there! Something drew me to this book, and Im a better person for having read it. So, even if womens fiction isn't what you WANT to read, this you will. It will stay with you for a long, long time.

This book made me laugh and it made me cry. I could totally relate with her conversations with God and also her silence when she just didn't feel like praying. I could relate to loss from a different stance, but it was still loss and that hurt eats at the core of a persons heart and soul. As Carla revealed her true inner feelings toward God through the whole ordeal, I could only applaud her for her brutal honesty. Some people would have tried to sugar coat how they really felt. In reading their story it made me feel as if I were actually there. I have never read a story that had me in tears and dealing with the pain I still feel from my own brother's passing. I am encouraged at Carla's strength even when she felt she was weak. God literally carried her through and He continues to carry her. I know in my heart that Dae Dae is smiling down from heaven because he knows his Mom is the bomb.com. I pray that millions will read this book and be encouraged to fight to the end. I pray that they will learn everything that God has for them to learn. No matter the outcome Father knows best. Beautifully written Author Carla R. Holloway.

This book is very touching! Personally knowing the family and reading the words of Mrs. Anthony's broken heart had me break in tears more than a few times as I read this book. At times I had to put the book down to gather myself. I also know a good friend of Javis who broke down in tears as he read this book. Great job Mrs. Anthony and I keep you all in my prayers daily! Super prayers for Shaun to pick up his torch.
God bless u all!!

I could relate so clearly with the emotions in this book that I couldn't read it in public as I would begin to cry. The heartbreak is expressed so clearly and later the relief/contentment is also clear.  I love the book and will read more by this author.
