But every story has a positive ending and the book will inspire readers to reach out and help others, as characters in the stories did.
While some children may find the stories disturbing, that's not necessarily a bad thing because it will help them develop compassion for others. There is a "bad word" in one story but it's included because it shows what the main character must deal with.
People anywhere from grade school through adulthood who read this book are likely to be inspired to make a difference in the world.

Nice review, Jan. Sounds like the book is a much needed addition to the literature, written at a child's level, on how kids deal with life's unexpected blows.
Jan,good review thanks for sharing.
Nicole, the book sounds like a "must" read :)
This was such a global event, and we're still reeling from it on so many levels. Very worthwhile topic and needed as well!
Kudos to all involved.
Thanks for the comments.
Hi Jan,
Thanks so much for posting this review. I appreciate the great support. I have experienced my share of very bad situations. Yet, with God's help I was able to turn many negatives into positives. I have also seen what many of my students go through. I wanted to write my stories to show no matter what, we can prevail. Believe it or not "The bad word" in my story is what my earthly father once called me. I never forgot it, but I made sure to apply myself in school to prove him wrong. Many of my students go through much more detrimental situations than I did. It is in that spirit I wrote my stories so they know YES! they can
prevail. I'll get off my soap box. Thanks again for taking the time to review my stories.
