5 Stars Wonderful Book-A Pleasure to Read!
101 Stories of Hope. It makes you happy and gives you a positive outlook on life.
5 Stars Very Touching
A true pick me up. 101 stories of hope. I just read this book from cover to cover over the past month. However, this is a true prize to re-read as many of these stories can pick you up when you are feeling down. Some of them make you feel that there is a super power out there watching over you when life has dealt you a bad card.
This is not to say that all the stories are about those people who are down on their luck. Many are about good people who find true love in a very magical way. A lot fo the themes are about perservering but other times its a matter of having an open heart.
My overall impression is that this book is truly heart felt.
1 Stars A very general guide, too vague
I read many relationship books and self help books, but this one is definitely not a seller. Its very general and it talks about the ordinary day of life with examples from very vague stories. The book is long, but its very limited to each sections for Single, Divorced and then Single again. It just doesnt have alot of content or advices to help you deal with relationship problems. Moreover, the information it says in there is pretty much to cheer you up, prolly just a pat on the back and you can go find your friend to do that for you. Its nothing very inspiring.

4 Stars Stories to warm the soul
The collection of short stories soothes my soul and helps me to realize that I’m not the first nor will I be the last to experience - life trials. Its comforting to know that others have made it through and I will to.
