"Read your book!Loved it! i am on the  same page as you!!!Congrats!!"***Adèle B., Nova Scotia

J'ai lu et j'ai trouvé très intéressant!!!!!!!!!! Que veut dire intéressant? Une fois la lecture débutée, j'ai eu de la difficulté à m'arrêter de lire. Un bon livre, selon moi, permet au lecteur de se questionner lui-même; c'est-à-dire, de s'identifier et de comparer sa façon de voir les choses à celle de l'auteur. D'interagir avec le contenu! Tout livre sert à instruire, et celui-ci va au-delà, pour inspirer! Tout livre fait penser, pousse le lecteur à songer à ses propres idèes; celui-ci pousse à contempler la vie. Finalement un bon livre ne laisse pas le lecteur indifférent, et celui-ci, certes, ne m'a pas laissé dans l'indifférence. Est-ce à cause que je connaissais ton background? Est-ce parce que je connaissais tes parents? Je ne sais pas. J'ai beaucoup aimé les citations qui servent d'intro aux diverses parties du livre. Une leçon à apprendre, un message à contempler tout en lisant et une mise en contexte pour ce que vivaient, tantôt  l'auteur, tantôt son personnage principal. Deux histoires vraies qui se côtoient et qui se complètent, à mon avis!***Robert F, Nouvelle-Écosse

I received your book today. I started reading it tonight, I just love it. I'm just at the second chapter but can't wait to keep reading it on the weekend.***Colette S, Nova Scotia

I read your book on the flight to Mexico I really loved it.. Great JOB! ***Sharon B, Nova Scotia

 

Just a note to let you know I received my book yesterday....I have already started reading it and so far I love it......I can relate to this woman's abdoman pain......I had more than I can count......thanks for writing your note.......Good luck on writing more books.*** Carmelle B, New Brunswick


Une collègue de travail, une amie , une écrivaine, une femme très puissante qui nous apporte de belles réflexions sur la vie. Félicitations et merci pour ce beau cadeau!*** Louise H, Nouvelle-Écosse

Great novel! Your own personal story inspired me and made me reflect on my own past. Well done!***Francine L, Nova Scotia

I just finished the book and it was wonderful! Congratulations you did a fantastic job! *** Jessica F, Nova Scotia

J'viens juste de finir ton livre! J'pouvais pas me coucher avant de l'avoir fini! Wow Shelley! J'trouve pas les mots tout de suite pour bien décrire ce que le livre m'inspire, je suis émue (qui veut aussi dire - jpeux pas arreter de pleurer!) mais j'admire ton courage et ta détermination. Je veux le relire de nouveau pour faire sur que j'ai vraiment toute compris les messages...  parce que ceux que j'ai saisi vont me servir à partir de tout de suite... Mille fois bravo! et merci!*** Andrée M, Nouvelle-Écosse

I stayed up last night till 2o'clock reading your book. When I finished it the only thing that I could do was to go into a meditation state and feel the energy that reading your book was giving me. You did a wonderful job. I love knowing more about you and the challenge you faced in life.I love to feel the determination and courage you exhibited. You wrote with total honesty and it was very much appreciated from the reader's point. *** Sylive R., Nova Scotia

Shelley....the book was fantastic..I sat in my Chair with a cup of tea and read the whole thing in a couple of hours...Congrats once again, wonderful Job...*** Beryl C-B , Nova Scotia

 

Just wanted to drop you an email to let you know that Nadine and I both read read your book and loved it! I can't wait to read your next one; not that I am putting pressure on you or anything...hehe!! I am an avid reader so I try to take in as many books as possible. Plus, with being offshore for most of the time, I read quite a lot of books.I will be recommending your book to many of the people out there who are also avid readers. *** Ricky & Nadine S. , Nova Scotia

I just finished the book.Excellent work. It kept me interested from front to back.You can feel the emotion coming off the pagesCongrats an job well done. ***Darrell R., Nova Scotia

So cool to actually hear the video. I got the book in the mail the other night and read it right away. I was blown away when I read this part, but hearing it is amazing...omg....*** Yvonne B. , Nova Scotia

I intended to read the first few pages of your book this evening (before drifting off to sleep) but ended up blasting from cover to cover....Simply, I love it.  Both you and Julian are 'angels' we accidentally bumped in to a couple years ago because of a few nasty bees!
Raw, honest, and inspirational - congrats!" ***Adam H., Halifax

 I just finished reading your book today! All I can say is, "Wow". Your story and that of Annie's is truly an inspiration. You've overcome many challenges in your life and you're an inspiration to all. I started it and couldn't put it down. When is the next one being printed?*** Cathy S., Cape-Breton

Read your book Shelley and it was very inspiring. Gives me a new outlook on life. Brought back of memories of your Dad helping me when I first had my colostomy. Keep writing, you have the gift. *** Janice J, Cape-Breton


As strange as this may seem, minutes after you accepted my friend request, Sonia called to tell me that she had just read your book and that I should read it. She says that "it's a great little book and that it has an inspiring story." It brought back many memories of the past and of our young, red, brown and blond llittle neighbors! Congratulations on publishing your book! *** Penny M, Halifax

I just wanted to let you know I read your book when I was on vacation.  For the past two months I've been trying in vain to find meaning for my sister's illness and death;  I think your book has nudged me towards the path. I started and finished reading your book in three hours, that is a record for me. I just couldn't put it down. All I can say is <wow>. It is such an inspirational story. It makes me realize just how lucky I am. You have a great talent, don't stop now. Can't wait to read the next one. 
 *** Tracy M, Halifax

I have been meaning to write you for a while now and of course, have been putting it off.  I LOVED your book!!!!!  I read it in one sitting (quite impossible with two little rugrats running around everywhere) I actually got up really early one morning so that I could enjoy your book alone.  I had only 2 chapters left when my munchkins woke up.  I read the last 2 chapters standing at the counter while feeding my girls their breakfast.  I really enjoyed your writing, have you found your calling?*** Amy S, New Brunswick

I received your autographed book yesterday and was so excited I immediately curled up on the couch and read it from beginning to end. Even though I have just had breast cancer surgery I feel so blessed that I have had a mostly uncomplicated life.You are probably wondering how that could be with 7 children--I loved every minute, well almost--haha. Poor Annie, she must be a strong person--I'm glad she had her story told.*** Ingrid C., Nova Scotia

Read your book and really enjoyed it!  ***Joan D, Nova Scotia  

I loved your novel. When is the next one coming out?  *** Jennie L., Nova Scotia

I read it in one night!!! And you have to know how slowly I read in order to see how great a compliment that is! The lesson was a very worthwhile read. It was a real page turner! Great job! You should be very proud of your success! *** Lise S., Nova Scotia.
