I adored Emma Grey’s debut novel, The Last Love

I adored Emma Grey’s debut novel, The Last Love Note, so I had pretty high expectations as I opened the first page of her newest novel, Pictures of You.

It was everything I hoped for and more.

Evie wakes up after surviving the car accident that killed her husband to a life that she has no memory of. As she struggles to put the pieces of her life together, she relies on Drew, her childhood friend that she turned away from, unbeknownst to her.

Told in alternating chapters between Evie and Drew, then and now, readers start to get a picture of what Evie’s life is like at the same time she does, with some startling revelations.

Readers who loved What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty will love this book and will likely look at their own lives with new eyes as a result. I know I did.

Emma has done it again.

This starts next week!

I am offering a special 5-session series of restorative reading, writing and yoga classes for caregivers supporting loved ones with eating disorders. The holidays were an especially challenging time for me as I supported my daughter through her recovery and I want to give back.

This series of 5-sessions are free and designed to layer different healing modalities together: reading, writing and yoga. The intentional one-word themes are purposefully designed to help caregivers recharge themselves so they can continue to support their loved ones.

Come to all, come to one and take what you need. =)

Learn more and message me for the link to join.

I'd love if you'd help me spread the word. Please like, share and tag others who might like to join, too!

The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate is a jour

The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate is a journey into books and back into time.

It’s easy to get lost in this book: in the current reality, in the historical journey, in the handwritten book of lost family and friends, in the incredible emotional rollercoaster this book takes you on.

Benny is a teacher in 1987 trying to figure out how to teach a group of kids with needs and lives much different than her own.

Hannie is fighting for her life in 1875 as a black woman trying to find her family that was heartbreakingly torn away from her.

Their stories are threaded together through a single book that unites their past and present and ultimately offers hope for those that need it.

This is a story to get lost in.

Shaken by James Preller has the most inviting, sho

Shaken by James Preller has the most inviting, show-stopping, powerful prologue I’ve ever read.

After reading the opening and taking a breath to prepare for the powerful story I knew was to come, I devoured the book in a single sitting.

Preller so beautifully tells Kristy’s story: a girl completely obsessed with soccer gets sidelined from a serious concussion and struggles to find her way back.

Readers get to know the inner workings of Kristy’s mind as she struggles to heal and fights her way through the resulting anxiety and depression with the support of her parents, a counselor and an incredibly talented art therapist.

The process of transformation was riveting and I couldn’t help think about how Kristy’s story to find the different layers of herself would invite readers to find their own.

Settle in for this one, readers.
