"Hi Sheila,

"Just finished reading your book. Couldn't put it down. I love books that touch the heart but knew when reading this one that much of it came from your heart and personal experience. Sure makes one appreciate good health and being loved.

"I'm doing pretty good with quitting smoking. I've had 3-1/2 smokes since getting home. It's such a struggle when the cravings hit and especially hard when under stress. Reading your book makes me really understand that it's nothing compared to treating the big C. I'll remember Jodi's struggles now each time I think I can't resist. Good timing for me to read this. Thank you for your prayers and sharing this book. You may never know how many people's lives it will touch." - Joy
