Customer Reviews

A Source of Inspiration and An Example of Courage

Having read both Gari Carter's book and some of the reviews, an Eastern expression comes to mind, "there are many truths and many realities." Gari's book cannot be all things to all people, but for the reader capable of being inspired by one woman's courage and able to use this book as a source of inspiration and as a resource book, it is wonderful. Having initially read the book in 1996, I continue to use it on my own journey of healing and am grateful to the author for sharing her story.

Story of tragedy, hope, persistence & personal success

I met Gari Carter through a mutual friend and the first time I met Ms. Carter I knew there was "something" about her that was "special" Her love, calmness,sincereness, & humbleness is not found in the normal person who has never been thru a tragedy. A must read for all.

This is a very valuable book for anyone facing surgery.

This book is an account of a woman's dealing with a traumatic injury that required many surgeries to correct. It describes her overwhelming will to live, her depression because of facial changes and pain and how she fought to rebuild her life. The most important thing that she shares is her discovery and use of Robert Monroe's tapes to help relax before and during surgery and to control the pain after surgery. I have used his tapes myself and highly recommend them to anyone who is anticapating surgery. The book is interesting, at times difficult to read because of the suffering you know the author is experiencing, but her fight to remain upbeat is a real inspiration.
