This book was exceptionally good.  I was amazed at the turn of events and the outpouring of support for everyone that had an issue in the story. It goes to show you that God is in control of all things. A fantastic story. I was given a copy of this book for an honest review. I would recommend to everyone.

Honestly, the course of this book would be well-read for anyone - not just young women, siblings or Christians. After I read it, I insisted that my teenager read it - much against her will - and she liked it. Neither of us found it uncomfortably preachy, but quite practical in the references to Bible passages and parables.  It is also wonderfully positive in facing the challenges of any and all relationships that one may have in their personal lives.  No judging - just lots of support and good will.

This book speaks for people with chronic sickness and pain, especially the conditions the author has. It is affirming. It helps other people understand.

I enjoyed this book very much and shared it with a friend who recently lost her husband to cancer.  She said that the perspective in the book was very helpful to her.

This book helped me so much.  My daughter was recently diagnosed with MS, she is 43 years old.  I didn't know where to turn and now I'm feeling on top of things.  It has been a big help for her also.  I highly recommend this.

I read this book in two days.  For anyone facing cancer, it is full of loving words and good advice.  For anyone supporting someone facing cancer, this book helps understand what the patient is going through emotionally, and physically, and what is needed most to help. For everyone, this is a story of how family, friends, and strangers come together to face a crisis.
Barbara is totally frank in her discussion of what she went through physically and emotionally, and her struggle to
determine what medical care was/is best for her.  She shares the wonderful e-mails she sent and received from a support group that stretched across many countries.  Many of the episodes detailed are frustrating, some are sad, some are outright funny.  What struck me as I read was the importance of support -- both emotional and practical -- from Barbara's friends (not only to her recovery but also just to the logistics of getting through many days), and the necessity to maintain some perspective and a sense of humor, or at least irony.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone; though we don't all face breast cancer or other personally life-threatening diseases, Barbara's strength and determination are an inspiration to  those confronting many types of challenges.

Absolutely wonderful book.  I would highly recommend it to anyone that is having a difficult time.  I lost my daughter 7 months ago and it has been and still is difficult for me to get past the pain, sorrow, grief and the loss of her.  This book has been such a big help to me, I still have a long way to go, but this book is pointing in the right direction and up the right path.

I love this book so far! I have had the pleasure of meeting Laura and she is the warmest, kindest woman I know! This book is inspirational regardless of what you are battling in your personal life. It is helping me through a very difficult time in my life right now and I can't thank her enough for writing this book. I bought a second copy for a dear friend who is dealing with some medical issues and I know she will cherish the book as I do. Thank you Laura!

Two of the problems with having a child with a mental illness are that you often  feel so alone and without hope.  Reading Sunnie's book, learning about all that she had to do to get Kevin the help that he so desperately needed, I was amazed at her strength.  Her book drew me in and touched me deeply to the point of tears.  She conveys to the reader what it is like to live with a child with a mental illness, how it affects the entire family, and that it is possible to survive and even thrive through so much pain. I believe that after reading this book the reader will feel less alone.  They will know that someone out there understands.  I admire your courage Sunnie!  Thank you for writing this book.

I was reluctant to get this book because it did not seem that it was serious enough.  However, once I picked it up, I read it cover to cover, and as I got to the end, I could feel some resolution and help.  The advice is not simplistic at all but profound.  The author and all the contributors write from the heart.  This is really the most helpful book I have found for this complex issue.  The book is also very well researched and is cross-referenced to professional journals. Very well done and good advice.  By the way, I am a male in my 50's and have struggled with this issue in the past without being able to undrestand it.  I think this is very helpful toward that end. I feel that I owe it to this author to thank her for this work.

This book offers great encouragement and a hand of support to those that are in the trenches with their loved ones. It is a source of deep hope and connection in a field where caregivers often feel so much loneliness, despair, and upheaval on a daily basis. Laurie offers caregivers stories and words from her heart and extensive experience in the field, personally and professionally. It is an excellent resource for all caregivers and their families.

I was honored to have Dianne ask me to preview her book and write a recommendation.  I found the book to be very informative, inspirational, and encouraging for the adults who have the respsonsibility to be guides and helpers for these very gifted children who are being born.  As a pediatrician, I have seen many of these children, and have worked with some in my own homeopathy practice.  I am very grateful to have a book like this to help me understand these children and their needs.

This is truly a lovely book which will bring much comfort to worried or confused parents.

And I love how Kristi Davis created it so that it could be read to a child with dyslexia (to help the child understand what dyslexia is - in a positive fashion, and the strengths that come with it), yet it also contains important parent advice notes.

I am sure this will become a widely loved book.

My 29 year old neice was diagnosed with a stage III astrocytoma, 3 days after Christmas.  I purchased this book for her, but I read it first, of course. I found it to be an excellent reference and a very positive book for her to read. I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with a brain tumor.

I found this book at the library about 3 weeks after my husband passed away suddenly.  I read it and re-read it and shared it with my kids.  It was so helpful, so affirming, so validating of where I was at in my sadness, grief and loss.  I then purchased it and the companion workbook.  I have given it to the people in my path that have undergone a sudden death too - VERY helpful.
