I agree with you! She goes through the entire experience word for word and shows what it was like. I had no idea! But, it is so valuable to have others understand and learn from her. I appreciate you reading my review. Thanks so much! :)

I will be checking this book out. Thanks for an insightful and candid review!
It was such an eye-opener for me in regard to the procedure she underwent, and yes, the cruelty of people in our society is unreal. I don't understand how someone could be so mean to another person. Thank you so much for reading my review. I appreciate it! :)

I agree with you one hundred percent! The author is so brave to open up her life on this subject and the victory she now lives. Thank you for reading my review. I appreciate it. :)

It really takes a deliberate and considerable amount of effort to go beyond what's merely obvious to see the goodness in everything and everyone. I also agree with you that it's eventually going to be all worth it. Thank you for your profound review.
I so appreciate your words to me! I was deeply touched by this author's story, moved to tears and hoped to do her justice with my review. I thank you so much for all that you have said here. Thank you for reading my review. :)

In closing, this book reminded me of this powerful statement: You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy (Psalm 30:11-12 AMP).
This is such a relevant issue. I enjoyed your review, and I love that you closed with this verse.

Gosh, this sounds like a beautiful book. Any book that leave you with empathy for others is on my list. This author has a lot of wisdom to share. Thanks for the beautiful review.

A great book. Attention grabbing and insightful. Could not stop reading once started. I could feel the pain and struggle of the writer and the success.
