This book puts you on an emotional roller coaster. You get insight in Laura’s world. You get to see all the struggles, emotions, the up and down in life. It felt like you experienced it all with her. It was such a heavy book. This book had a lot of life lessons which made it enjoyable. At times it was dragging in some areas and I sorta felt like it should “ get to the point” but it’s hard for me to give a negative review when it was such a heart felt book.

I wanted to like this book I really did but I could not get past the point of view it was written from so it made it hard to connect with the characters and very confusing. It also had very long quotations of conversations within it which made it a lot to discern. I kept going in hopes it would get better but I finally stopped on chapter 6 and was unable to finish.

An unexpected story with many twists and turns. I was expecting a novel so was surprised by the amount of direct Bible teaching and references. Some of this was hard to read but I am trusting God to strengthen me in all I've read, even if it wasn't what I expected when I picked this book.

This story like an emotional whirlwind that'll hit you right in the feels. Laura's story is all about identity, forgiveness, and finding strength in the face of darkness. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down!

From the very start, you get sucked into Laura's world - a life filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. But the best part is how she embraces her Mama's faith and life lessons. It's like she's talking right to your heart, making you believe in the power of hope and love. But don't worry, it's not all heavy stuff; there's a sprinkle of humor and joy too.
