Silver Lining Solutions, www.peaceloveandlemonade.com. “In this book, author Nancy Stampahar delivers on her title: she offers readers a dollop of peace, a heartful of love, and a practical recipe for anyone who wants to extract sweetness from life. This is so important in today's media-driven culture of cynicism and fear. Nancy reminds us through the sharing of her own tribulations that all situations -- happy or sad, easy or tough -- can be turned into life-affirming opportunities for personal growth. This book is practical, real and compiled in an easy-on-the-eye fashion so readers can pick it up as time permits and glean its wisdom.” Gina Hillier Author of Everything Matters, Nothing Matters The author put a great deal of thought into the design of this book, and it really shows. In fact, I was impressed with author’s sense of design throughout the entire book; the book is a great size, it contains a number of useful charts and interesting graphics, and the fonts used throughout are clear and readable. The text is also a pleasure to peruse. The author is generous with personal anecdotes, but the book never takes on a confessional tone. I occasionally found the author’s prose to be a bit too casual, but that is a matter of taste, and ultimately I think a casual tone is well-suited to the book’s message. An upbeat tone is maintained throughout. Writer’s Digest – Judge 44’s Commentary | ||||
