Review of Therefore, Choose Life
Posted: 16 Feb 2024, 17:53
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Therefore, Choose Life" by Suzanne Marks Rosoff.]
Suzanne grew up thinking a woman could have a career or a family. To her, they were mutually exclusive. She married Erwin and had two beautiful children, Paul and Melinda. Her world is torn apart when Paul is diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, and her marriage is falling apart. How would she navigate these new challenges? Therefore, Choose Life by Suzanne Marks Rosoff follows the story of Suzanne and her self-discovery not only as a mother but as a career woman.
There are so many positive aspects to this book. Suzanne's story resonates with so many women who lived in an era where women's empowerment, equality, and feminism were almost non-existent concepts. This book would be very relatable to millennials and allow them to reflect on the journey so far and how much society has changed. Suzanne's story is inspirational. In a society prejudiced against women, she strived to make a name for herself and got into highly-ranked positions in the Federation. Her hard work, dedication, and commitment got her to the position of Assistant Director of the Southern Area Council.
There were a few grammatical errors in the book. I believe the book was professionally edited. The book is a very emotional read. It draws out wonder, sadness, joy, excitement, and anxiety. As Paul underwent his treatment for leukemia, Suzanne had to make tough decisions between constant medical and life dilemmas to preserve the life of her son. The overwhelming emotions she felt when she stepped foot in Israel for the first time and the wholesomeness of the journey were major highlights for me in the book.
There is nothing I disliked about the book. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. Suzanne stands as a symbol of bravery, perseverance, and stepping beyond your comfort zone. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy motivational autobiographies and books about people struggling with health challenges.
