A Lovely Review or Two

It has been so fun hearing from many of you on the unique ways God has been using the latest Sisterchicks story to encourage you. May I share a few notes from my inbox?

"You are my writing HERO. Your Sisterchicks books came into my life while I was battling stage 3 ovarian cancer, and I would completely forget about my treatments and how bad I felt when reading about those women! Such a blessing. Thank you so much for that."

"I've always been a fan of these books, in part because I discovered them during a particularly difficult time in my life. In 2004 my niece died in a car accident. Two days later, my daughter's best friend was also killed in a car accident. It was a horrible time for our family. We went through a lot of grieving, as you might imagine. At about that time, I stumbled across Robin's first Sisterchicks book. I devoured it. Then I devoured the second one. Her stories have a miraculous way of lifting people out of their troubles and transporting them - both spiritually and emotionally. The Lord used them to get me through a very difficult season in my life and I've always been grateful. This latest book is delightful, of course. It tickles the funny bone while tugging on the heartstrings. Well done, Robin!

With joy,
