This author/book is heartfelt insight and sometimes painful disclosure of her journey with her husband, family and friends throughout her path in life. She utilizes insight, humor, wisdom and resources for those that are looking for directions in circumstances that can be confusing and in need of direction.

Reading this true and heartwarming story by the woman who lived it, deepened my understanding of what a diagnosis of this magnitude brings and I learned how through any difficult circumstance in life, we can create sacred alchemy and transform pain and fear into beauty and faith.

Linda M. 5.0 out of 5 stars A Captivating Read. Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022

Regina Maria Cross’ real life book is a captivating read you will not want to put down. Her writing style is very descriptive making one feel you are there throughout her experiences and you know all the persons involved. Her intimate, personal journey filled my being with fluctuating emotions from heart wrenching tears to side-splitting laughter. It is a must read that stops you in your tracks to ponder how precious day to day life is, how strong faith is, and not to take a moment for granted. The prose/poetry section is exceptional. The total content of this book was a blessing to me and will be the same for all who read it.

Denyce Finch 5.0 out of 5 stars So well written, the words flow like music Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022

Why would I want to read a book about brain tumors? It’s not just for people with tumors! It’s a sweet, funny, heart melting, terrifying, and crazy story of survival and love. Regina pours out her personal journey and it resonates with life in general. Loved it! No stumbling over long sentences and my mind drifting away. I especially love the “Part 2” section, it reminded me of the Tao Te Ching. “Bliss is your new normal and ordinary is good”, but this book is far from ordinary. Well done!

Regina Cross shares her very personal story in a loving and authentic way – because she is truly a loving and authentic person. A journey through personal trauma and healing can often be scary and lonely. I hope this book reaches anyone who would benefit from Regina’s memoir.
