"I have been reading your book a couple of hours each day--I have made time for it! I have less than a hundred pages to go. It has been very helpful to me. It has made me think a lot about the reasons why I do the things I do. I am trying harder to do them because I want to, not that I should. Thank you! Also, I am trying to live more in the present and enjoy each day and moment. Thank you for your help. You helped me to see things in a way I hadn't before. Your book can be helpful to everyone--not only to those who have suffered abuse.
I want to tell you that Wendy picked up your book Sunday off of my love seat and started reading it. She was so impressed with your introduction. I asked her yesterday if she meant the prologue or the first chapter; she said both. She told me at least four times that your book had a really, really good introduction. She said that she didn't know Grandma could write so well. (I think that is quite the compliment considering how many books Wendy has read and what a good writer she is.) I just wanted to share that with you. I hope the people that can really be helped with your book will get to see it and read it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love,
Debbie"
Wendy is Debbie's fifth child. Wendy read a book a day for years. She is now in her third year at university. She is extremely intelligent and also a delight to be around.
I am posting their comments here to assist others in picking up my book to read it to go on a healing journey. There is much in there that is healing to almost anyone. This really touched me also because I tell in the book about writing fairy tales when I was in second grade. A sibling came in and made fun of me because I thought I could write. I threw my little book into the furnace and watched it burn. From that point on I "knew" I couldn't write. I always got A's on the grammar on my papers and C's on the content which further proved I couldn't write. That was one of the major blocks in my writing my book.
Sylvia Coates, (a professional indexer and university teacher) who did my indexing, called me one night to tell me that in her profession she had read over 2500 books, including textbooks. She just wanted to tell me that I could write and that my book was well written. I cried when she told me that. I got a little teary today as well as I read my daughter and granddaughter's evaluation of my book.
My whole purpose in writing my book was to assist people in healing. I am beginning to feel that this is really possible.
