A crisis in another family had seriously injured Callie's emotional health.  For her to go forward in life requires step by step decisions depending on God's leading in every situation.  This story illustrates human frailties in a tough place.  This is a good solid read, especially for Christians.  Recommended for all ages.

Loved the story....dealing with many teenage problems and probably an eyeopener to many parent's who think Johnnie is not smoking or drinking.  Suicide comes in many forms and leaves the left inconsolable with guilt.  Our society has become too complex and stressful with kids attending high schools larger than some colleges.  Good read for everyone.

I loved it.  As a man reading Kate's story, I felt drawn in to her struggle to cope with her husband's most untimely death.  Seeking solace and security with rich and powerful Wall Street types, Kate discovers new sources of strength, ultimately enabling her to climb the mountain to her own independence.  Told simply and clearly, this story speaks to more than just women seeking inspiration.  It speaks to all of us.  We all live this struggle. I loved it.

I loved this book and I'm sure there are many people who can relate to this problem which inflicts many families. Kimberly Rae Miller endured this problem growing up in a family where hoarding overtook everything. It was fascinating reading about how she dealt with this as a young child then as an adult; not for one moment walking away from the problem and leaving her parents to wallow in a never ending mess of clutter and chaos even though she wished she could. It was a very touching portrayal of a family desperately needing help but not knowing how to cope. Kimberly was able to pursue her own career even though she felt the weight of the problem deeply. A most thought provoking story, well written with great insight and compassion.

This personal story provides relatedness to the troubled teenager, hope to the concerned parent, inspiration to the personal trainer, compassion to the judgmental and encouragement to those who doubt themselves.

Matt's courage to share his private struggles is admirable and effective.

Even though this story is totally different than the medical struggles I've been facing with my husband, it lifted me up during a dark time in my own life.

As other reviews mentioned, I couldn't put it down once I started reading.

Jill Viggiano takes us on a tale of struggle, sadness and ultimate fighting back for success. She relates the story of her husband, Gordon having a stroke and working through all that was involved. Even though each person's story is different, we can learn a lot about how to deal with tragedies like this and what to do in our own situation.

Thank you, Jill, for sharing your pain and how you were able to turn it into a blessing.

If you or someone you know has gone through a tragedy like this, you will want to get this book and find the encouragement and strength you need.

This is a story that really makes you realize that all is not black or white. I was able to sympathize with each person involved. Excellent story that forces you to ask yourself some tough questions about why we make the choices we do.

Ive been curious about this book since I first heard about it, so when author Glynis Belec offered free e-copies, I jumped at the chance to finally read Mrs. B Has Cancer. This is a sweet story about a harsh reality, and Ms. Belec does a magnificent job of pulling back the curtain on a subject difficult to discuss, especially for children.
Using the point of view of Tristan, one of Mrs. Bs tutoring students, was an inspired choice. Tristan is a typical boy with lots of energy, some issues with learning, and a big heart. His response to the news of his beloved tutors illness is a wonderful coping mechanism for children and adults alike.
I recommend this book for anyone dealing with questions about cancer or other serious illnesses and award it four stars.

This story was very difficult for me to read. This true tale was filled with honest and raw emotion. You could literally feel the pain this man was going through and experiencing. Life is not always fair, does not always deal you a good hand but how you handle it is what matters. I have a huge amount of respect for this author for telling it like it was for him. No sugar coating, which I know so many couples/individuals will be able to relate to and connect with. I think anyone who has had a difficult life and/or relationship will relate to this on a personal level and the book may bring them peace that they are not alone, that others have struggled too and survived and even thrived. Kudos, Mr. Rega, and my sincerest respect.

Good, fine read about relationship issues we all face as human beings. Family issues being the toughest of them all...

Told from the perspective of the young makes the story meaningful, sometimes sad, sometimes uplifting, always poignant...

It is easier to recognize and come to grips with our issues and opportunities in the young than within ourselves.

Age and experience have given us too much baggage.  It has clouded our vision and our perspective.  We can learn from youth.

This remarkable book is the story of a girl with a bleeding disorder who was not expected to live to adulthood.  It shows what she went through, how her parents and spouse supported her,  and how she returned the support when her parents health started to fail.  It is told in detail, and in honesty, giving her feelings at each occurrence of a health crisis - her triumphs and her failures.  It is a story of great resilience that we could all learn from.

Don't we all wonder how we would cope if faced with a disaster? I do hope I will be as courageous as the people I read about. These people showed all of us how we need to respond if we want to be humane. The story kept me interested all the way to the end!

A great story of real life for a woman who has experienced many of life's challenges. Her circumstances were not familiar to many of us who grew up in the US and I found myself admiring her strength and courage as she dealt with them. Looking forward to learning more of her story.
