“I could not put the book down…I admired [Norton's] straight forward method of writing, her honesty in admitting her mistakes with herself and family, and how hard she fought to turn those negatives into positives…This book will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Most of all it will make you want to continue trying, even when everything appears to be so very hopeless…It’s a great read and an excellent example of how the human spirit can bounce back again and again, and be so selfless, even when facing insurmountable hardships. “ — Reader comment on Amazon.com
