I love the layout of The Curious Case of the Misplaced Modifier: How to Solve the Mysteries of Weak Writing. It is well written, easy to understand, and very helpful. Bonnie Trenga provides an excellent reference to have when writing and editing. I highly encourage and recommend this book to everyone!

This is one of the best books I've read. Kept me laughing whole way through. I'm not your "typical reader" but this book I could read. Janice is such a delightful, charming Weight Loss Coach. I admire her style and just found this book to be so enjoyable. Janice Taylor, is so down to earth, and REAL, about weight loss. It's the kind of book you could read more than once.  I ordered several of them and gave them to all my friends for their birthdays!! Now I just have to get them signed by Janice herself!!! Congrats to Janice for such a superb book. I commend you!!  From Holly V. Long Island

I can't tell you how much this book has affected  me. It has made me want to be a better person. Theresa has a way with words as well as her wonderful ability to communicate with our loved ones who have passed. Thank You Theresa. I will probably read this again!!!

Lost to Found in 90 days literally makes you want to be a better person! When I heard about the book I was beyond excited and couldn't wait to start reading it. I am a very goal-driven person but knew there were areas I could improve upon. I've been doing the program for 3 weeks and I have to say take it takes patience because I want to keep reading on. It is empowering to say the least. The people closest to me have noticed a big difference and they didn't think there was anything I could possibly make better about my life. I am all about improvement and this book is priceless! I am eternally grateful for Rachel sharing her experiences and for Nina pushing her to be a better version of herself. Thank you both for making this world a better place!!!

I was so moved to action by Faith's book. She is such a brave young lady to share her painful start in life so honestly so that she could help others heal themselves. I wish I had been able to learn and understand what she has by age 30 rather than my 50's. I am already setting my intention for the day and when frustrated I really do think to myself, "what would Faith do" and immediately start listing my blessings. I look forward to your next book! I count you Faith as one of may many blessings and am grateful I found your book!!

I would give this book 10 stars if I could!! Tosca gives you brilliant information and it's easy and FUN to read!! She makes it an interesting read and gets you right on board. She is someone the average woman can definately relate to, and she makes you feel comfortable instantly. You will see we are all "in the same boat" and are struggling together. She also has a site eatcleandiet.com where you can visit message boards, blogs, and read success stories. I would recommend this book to anyone. There is also a men's version, and a cookbook for kids. Tosca has a new cookbook coming out this fall as well. LOVE Tosca and this way of life!!!

I've had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful auther in her early days!! This book was handed to me several years ago (almost ten to be exact) before it was published and I absolutely loved it, she hadn't written the sequels yet (& I'm sure it was because she was still in college) lol.. but i couldn't wait until she did!! I still have my original copy of Carbon and even though i would love hard copies of the rest of the series, I'm just sooooo happy to finally be able to finish reading the whole story!!! If I could give this book 10 Stars i would!!!! I'm so grateful to have a connection with the author and her friend who blessed me all those years ago with a piece of the lives!!! I'll love you ladies for a lifetime! Thx XoXo

I bought THREE copies of "Stop the Thyroid Madness"  as well as THREE copies of her newer book.  The extra copies were for my thyroid specialist [endocrinologist] and a close friend with life impacting thyroid issues.  I bought her books already knowing the authors message was true.  I was not expecting Janie to be a really good writer, and boy, she is!  She has a page turning writing style and that was an unexpected bonus.  I applaud her for helping people without pushing them to secure her work.  Her story helped me before I even bought her books.

I had a total thyroidectomy several weeks ago and had to research everything on the subject.  The goal of my research?  To find out what awaits me with a thyroidless life.  Thanks to Janie Bowthrope, I found the next chapters in my life are up to me! And no, you do not need to have a medical degree to understand why.  "Empirical Data" (actually experienced) can be even better and Bowthorpe has hundreds, if not thousands, of "people like us."  So, this is not just her story, it is a tapestry of many stories.

Janie A. Bowthrope does not hold back on spoilers or refuse to be of help unless you buy her materials.  She is quite frank "how our thyroid is working can affect our very essence of life" and that big pharma is profiting by keeping us mental vegetables.  I was able to switch over to meds similar to what she found worked for her, and able to do it before I lost energy and gumption to do it.  I was giving Synthroid a try post op because that is the only word my Doctor seemed to know.  But after two weeks on it, I was starting to loose my hair, energy, interest in any projects, and other hypo symptoms I definitely wanted to nip in the bud.  But according to my endocrinologist my tests looked "splendidly normal."

There are so few Doctors writing scripts for the better game plan - I had to say something, and say it like I meant it.  As I sat there waiting to see her, I noticed the huge 4 color anatomy poster was a gift from "Levothyroxine" (makers of Synthroid) and losing confidence in my position.  It is very suffocating to feel the quality of your life depends on one person.  In this case, it did! A person who felt I was doing "splendid."

When she arrived, I told that Doctor if she did not write me Armour my surgeon would refer me to a Doctor that would.  Much to my surprise she leaned over and wrote it.  This was one of the best days of my life.  Because it also gave me a precedent, if she ever leaves practice.

There are several other ways to secure NDT but I personally would prefer it to be a script, if possible, and monitored by my insurance recognized medical. Janie Bowthorpe has many suggestions, resources and insight.  I am SO GLAD that she dedicated her life to the cause even after she got better.  She could have left us behind!  (I know, Left Behind is another book :)  And that she had the GUTS to even take a public position against Big Pharma.  Sometimes no income in the world is worth standing up against big regimes and she did.

Thank you so much!  You have freed so many people with quality information.

I have to begin by saying that I come into this review with a bias.  You see, I have known Cheryl for about 5 years where she was a regular guest at a local restaurant where I was a server and floor manager.  I got to know her and thought she must really be a wonderful woman at home and at her job, whatever that was, because she always carried a radiant glow and independence about her that made me envious.  Well...after several years of the restaurant business I decided to go back to college and finish my degree.  Low and behold, I walk in to my women's health class and there is Cheryl.  She was my professor! I was a little confused because I thought she had told me she had been to law school in Tennesee.  Come to find out she had a many degrees under her belt and has done a little of everything.  Her spirit and determination are remarkable.  After getting to know Cheryl I found out she was writing a book.  Thank God!!!  Mainly because there were so many women who couldn't get into the class every semester and it was so important to get the information out there.  So here it is,  and it is wonderful!  Commitment Chronicles is her life story and that above all else is something to behold.  She is such an inspiration to anyone who knows her, particularly me becuase she is my personal mentor.  I only hope that by reading her book you can feel her warm energy resonate your heart. The information in this book has changed the lives of so many people I know and has been useful in my own relationships with friends, family and especially my husband.  She reminds you how to love your self.  Once you do that your ability to love and be loved by others is limitless.  PLEASE understand that if you could only be blessed enough to know her that the stories in this book are the same talks you would have at lunch with her.  It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone!!!  Thanks Cheryl for sharing your insight with the world!

I LOVE BRIGHT LINE EATING!!! And this book is AMAZING!  I started BLE in March of 2016.  I am 67.  I have tried literally hundreds of diets in my adult life.  NOTHING worked for me until BLE.  I have lost almost 80 lbs with another 5-10 to go to my goal weight.  This is the lightest I have been since my early 20's.  BUT I have never before eaten this healthy and maintained my weight loss for this long a time.  I truly believe today that I will be able to maintain this weight for the rest of my life.  HOWEVER, this program is sooooooooo much more than weight loss.  I truly am happy, thin and FREE today.  I am a 10 on the susceptibility scale.  I was a major sugar addict when I started this program.  I was terrified of letting go of sugar and flour.  Yet here I am today, and for the most part, I no longer am even pulled toward these foods.  And on the rare occasion that I am, it is short term and I have the tools of BLE to get me through those times.  The support through boot camp, and online are phenomenal.  Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson is one of the most amazing and loving, and educated people on the planet when it comes to how to eat in ways that support us physically, mentally, and spiritually.  I LOVE the Science behind our cravings and it all finally makes sense.  When I started this program there were only boot camps available.  The addition of this amazing book is priceless.  If you want to be FREE of worrying/thinking/obsessing about food READ THIS BOOK NOW!!!! :)

I absolutely loved this book above all others I have read about life on the Camino (and I have read quite a few). Theresa is an amazing storyteller who makes you feel like you are right there walking every step of the way with her, sharing the camaraderie of wonderful friends with her, eating some wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) food with her, and seeing thru her eyes the beautiful countryside.
You also really step back and view life differently and see things in a completely different light while reading this book.
Thank you Theresa for all your great insights into this journey you let us share with you. I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity.
A truly great read!

Thanks to the author!! This is the most amazing book in my life so far. I am a teen girl who has made her life hell due to negative thoughts and following people. Life had made me lager and I keep on following those who do not know where their life is going. I learned how to change and create positivity in my life through this book. I had a wonderful experience reading it and implementing those techniques upon myself. My life is much happier and I am no unhappy and don't scold world or myself. I will recommend it to every teen girl who wishes to live life according to what they wish and wants themselves to clearly set their goals in life without being fall into negative and evil things which ruins them unfortunately. If I ever had a chance ill meet you in person to thank you for this amazing effort for us

First of all, let me say that I love Theresa, love watching her show and I firmly believe that she is the ''real deal''.  What I have enjoyed about her book is that you get to learn exactly how she truly is, her own fears, her family, and how she ''talks'' to spirit. This book has also comfort me knowing that our loved ones are always with us...I have firmly enjoyed this book. Thanks Theresa.

I have just purchased 50 books today and purchased one last week.  I bought these books because Debbie speaks in a language and conveys a perspective on life that has been life altering for me.  The community she has created with all of you, I found extraordinary and you have all been a gift to me.

I feel fortunate that I will be able to give 50 people this book and I hope that they will have even the smallest piece of what I have learned since I started working with all of you a little over a year ago.

Jen and I grew up 5 blocks away and went to the same grade school. However, the first time we met was 5 miles away in a synagogue parking lot .
Summer of 1990 our parents pushed us on a bus blowing kisses as we were shedding tears. Off to overnight camp for 3 weeks. That was the start to a beautiful friendship. After camp we were inseparable. School, sleepovers, hanging out, malls, movies, beaches, pools, jobs. Practically lived at Bonnie's house. She was my 2nd Mom. Caring, loving , always there for her children and others. I laughed and cried throughout the book visualizing the day our parents fought for us in the principal's office. Jen and I protested to not switch classrooms in 8th grade. Unfortunately things did not work in our favor ( The totem pole ) Moving on there was nothing Bonnie didn't do to comfort & support Jen through her entire life. I was there that day for the unfortunate fight that ended up in court for Jen. That was the summer before we journey out to different high schools. We still stayed close & I was there throughout those Crip days where I wouldn't join , but there was no stopping Jen. As Bonnie mentioned later on she realized that was not the type of crowd she wanted to be in. Throughout teen years we saw each other around the neighborhood & even worked at the same call center through school. Jen was loving, funny, caring & compassionate , so many wonderful traits her Mom gave her. But  Bonnie couldn't give her the one thing every dream girl wants in life??? Popularity !!!! We weren't skinny, & beautiful , so Jen found it in another outlet. Toughness!! She used it to her benefit . Unfortunately some saw that other side of Jen. I call it the fake side. She knew right from wrong . Just wanted to be popular. In are neighborhood if you could fight!! You were known! That's what she wanted. Her goal was achieved.
 March of 1998 I had a tragedy that left me paralyzed in a car accident. Jen and Jason ( her brother ) I will never forget coming to my house with this Teddy bear bigger then her. They sat half the day with me in my home. Just giving so much love & support . Last I saw her. Next time I saw Jason it was on oddly driving on the Blvd. Funny encounter parked at a red light. Quick OMG!! We both looked completely different!! He was hot & older & so was I !! Are eyes popped out like a cartoon. We exchanged how's family ? Give kisses & then he turned off. Two weeks later I'm at Jen's funeral. Heartbroken , Devastated , Completely in Shock.
Bonnie ,
  This book was filled with the most truthful heartache a parent goes through . It gave me closure an also answered my unanswered questions., I'm happy to know you don't blame yourself anymore . You always went way & beyond for your kids. Incredible book for loved ones struggling Addiction. I also see this book as a " Prevention"  Jen's story could touch so many Highschool students. I feel this book should be an English paper assignment. Love you Bonnie.
