A great read that left me with tears, laughter and inspiration. There are heartfelt, tender, and raw emotions woven through these letters. Even though there were things written about that I have not experienced I was touched by the honesty and could not put this book down. More than just love, these letters touch on forgiveness, regret, and pure joy.

This book is a rare gift from the heart and soul of a beautifully tender author. Dolly invites us on a sacred journey to embrace who we most truly already are. In the first pages of her book, I felt as if this was written just for me. Her words are tender, rich and powerful. I cherish the message of freedom and how these words drew me close.... to embrace how God loves me.  (This is my honest review. I received an Advanced Reader Copy but was not paid to write this review.)

This is a tender and touching story. It is also quite funny! I love RaeAnne's books and I know you will to but be sure to have your tissues handy when you read this story because you will be sure to need it.

I was gifted this book and so thankful for it!

This sweet, compassionate  novel will tug at your heart.  I was charmed by the intellect, understaning and love this amazing elephant had for those who cared for her with dedication and respect.  This book provides beautiful insight into the multiple facets of love.  We are charmed by the tender love between a man and a woman (both young and old), the fierce, ambitious love of obtaining your dreams and mostly by the simple, pure love of humans for an aging, remarkable elephant.

A heart wrenching story of how something so ugly in life, that of physical and mental abuse, was turned to a sweet and tender love. I loved how Duncan spoke to Annalise, how he treated her, respected her, and never gave up on her. In turn I loved how strong Annie was; determined, and not jaded by anger from her past. A very tender story of hope, deep friendship, and selfless love.
Sometimes I get frustrated by the ridiculous doubts authors weave in to the story, "for climatic sake," that always seems to come in the minds of the characters, but this time it was handled well and I thought, haven't we all been there at some point, doubting ourselves, our thoughts, our abilities, it's what we do with them - how we handle, them that can help us become someone better. Well done Ms. Connolly.

Here is a personal work that explores universal love and compassion. You can't help but hear the influence of Whitman's free verse on this manuscript, but also the cadence and attention of Li Po. Lovely and engaging. Here is a tender lesson in self-acceptance and a real pleasure to read.  Thank-you, Lee.

This is a tender and delightful read.  I love the idea of "hearing heartbeats." It has to do with knowing the heart and intentions of another person. It certainly touched my heart, and opened my eyes to the fact that there is much more to life than what we can see.  I plan to read the sequel, "A Well-tempered Heart." I am fascinated by this writer's style.

What a beautifully written story. I couldn't seem to get much else done until I finished this book! It is truly an ongoing challenge for the tender hearted to deal with life's many injustices, including the challenges of people personalities. Acceptance IS the answer....and  Lots of Love. To the Author....I understand completely...I am one of those tender hearted souls too.

This novel moves at a brisk pace and touches the soul, drawing forth feelings of love and compassion for both the mother and daughter. Excellent character development and wonderful message of hope, transcendence and healing. A must read for anyone who has been affected - or knows someone affected - by sexual abuse.

An evening stroll engenders an unexpected friendship between an elderly woman, and a young girl.  The elderly lady (Miz Berlin) recounts her childhood through beautifully creative stories which capture the  imagination of the young girl and further ignites her curiosity about her  elderly friend.  The book's soft and poignant illustrations reveal the  innocent spirit of the young girl's imaginings and gently draws the reader  into the fantasy.
I think adults and children - young girls especially  - will enjoy reading Miz Berlin Walks. It is a tender, touching story that  should be shared amongst all generations.
