"IT'LL BE ALRIGHT" a marvelous book written by an experienced author, the book shares a full glimpse of reality from the happy moments shared with a loving mother to the the dark times when their wonderful soul is snatched from this earth leaving that hole in our hearts, this book has taught me to cherish those moments with loved ones , let them know we love them, so that when we don't have them we can fill those missing gaps in our hearts. This is a book I'll recommend to anyone this is not ficton it's reality and it touches the inner most part of the heart.

Author expresses the effect of losing loved ones as well as losing focus on everyday life. Changes happen we have to adapt in our own way that's suitable for us mentally. Effects that can change your life will often get you off track emotionally. Through the passage the author found ways to deal with moving on with the continuous life.

Like the author, I've had the blessing of having a mother who is also my best friend, so I find this homage precious. I'm sure we have a lot to learn from this family. Thank you for your review.

Latest Review: Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible

Post by Bettny Andrade »

This is a moving story, an autobiography by the author herself, who lost her mother. She recounts how she felt, how her journey of flight was, and what she would have liked to share with her mother. It's all reflected in a series of letters compiled in this book. From comforting words to mottos she shared with her mother, such as "everything will be okay," these are just some of the reasons why this book is a good read.

A loss of a mother is devastating and not something to deal with easily. It's nice that the author wrote about her and tell the world how wonderful she was, it's good for a person's heart and soul during a loss. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD.

Hmmm, the kind of life you want to see yourself living stands on the decisions you make. One can truly recreate his/her world.

I don't like memoirs as a genre, because they are like windows to someone's life and I am not voyeuristic enough to peek. I am a private person myself and respect the privacy of everyone else and while I can believe it possible to share your happiness, to witness something as touchy and personal as grief of loss looks to me disrespectful to all parties involved. Apologies, I prefer to pass the book.
