Book Review: Reclaiming Life

I exchanged ebook links with a few other self-published authors during and after a webinar on sales and marketing. Here is one of those reviews.

My review of Reclaiming Life by Maureen MIchele, on Goodreads

Michele, Maureen. Reclaiming Life: A Guide for Parents of Chronically Ill Children. Self-published November 28, 2022.

This inspiring book is for parents who have a child with chronic health problems and need better coping strategies. The author combines memoir with advice about managing emotions, thoughts, and everyday life. There are vivid descriptions of emotions (such as fear), including how they feel in the body. She vividly shows situations from her daughter’s diagnosis in infancy and her other diagnosis at age twelve, in addition to relevant examples of some of her patients.

Each chapter ends with advice for the reader. She often returns to how the brain works and how to improve attitude, thoughts, and emotions. Though the author is a pediatrician, the writing is easy for laypeople to understand.

Violet & Steampunk Boy, my favorite book (volume 3) in my middle grade fantasy series Rowanwick Witches, is available here:
