Five Star Reviews for Memories of Me

I’ve heard publishing a book compared to birthing a child. I disagree. They’re nothing alike—from conception to delivery. For one thing, when you have a baby, you don’t wonder, “Will people like my baby?”

In my case, I knew my friends and family that had supported and encouraged me would like my book. I knew my publisher saw a market for it. However, after lining up my blog tour, I waited on pins and needles. What if they didn’t love it? What it they said my personal stories (examples) were crap?

Happily, every one of my reviewers recommended Memories of Me. The blog tour process was humbling and exhilarating. In fact, the blog tour was akin to riding a roller coaster. It’s only now that it’s over that I realize how much fun I had taking the ride.

This book is a great resource for those like me who want to create a personal history but don’t really know how to get started.

This is the best resource book I have seen to help with recording memories and writing my personal history and I will definitely refer to it many times in the years to come! I highly recommend this to everyone!

Stephanie Connelly Worlton reviewed Memories of Me on Kreating Krazy

This is seriously a book I believe everyone should take the time to read. If you take it one chapter at a time, following the direction she gives, by the time you finish reading, you will be well on your way to having your history recorded.

Jinky reviewed Memories of Me on Jinky is Reading

It felt as if she [me!] was behind me whispering encouragements. That’s a mark of an exceptional non-fiction writer because too much concentration on facts leads to a boring read. This was far from boring but rather quite a helpful tool in aiding me see the beauty of capturing my own “treasure chest of memories.”

Jinky is in the top 1% of Goodreads’ Reviewers. She also listed Memories of Me among the top ten books she’s read this year.
