I am one of the lucky ones who got to read Elisa's journal before it’s even published and I can honestly say - it is one of those things that will stay in my heart forever.
The Golden Sky is the strongest, most wonderful and heartbreaking book I've ever read.
I don't cry while reading books. Movies get me, but not books. That was until this one. With every turn of the page I felt closer and closer to what was written in it.
The journal is about a young couple and their struggle with the loss of their baby boy. It shows how sometimes life can knock you down real hard. But it also shows that with faith, belief, willpower and lots of pure, unselfish love - it is possible to get back on your feet.
The Golden Sky is the first JOURNAL I've ever read and it is the best one either, because it is all true. It has real feelings, emotions and real love in it. It touched my heart and I will never forget it.
Elisa,
*first I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to read your journal.
*second I wanna tell you how much I respect and adore you for publishing your journal and telling everyone your story.
*and third, I want you yo know, that I think you are the most amazing person I know. It is unbelievable how unselfish and amazingly strong you are. No matter how you feel, you always put others and their needs first. You've gone through so much in your life, yet you don't complain and after all that's happened, you are the nicest human being on earth!
I'm so happy you have a wonderful life, family and friends who keep you happy :) I hope to meet you one day so I can tell you in person how amazing I think you are :)

ReplyDeleteDear Baiba, like you, I also experienced Elisa's generosity in letting me do a pre-publication reading of her book. And like you, I found it so honest--fiercely honest--and so poignant. It is as you say a beautiful book that shows us how one's attitude makes all the difference when life becomes tragic and difficult and almost beyond enduring.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you wrote your book review.
Peace.
Awesome and well worded review. Thanks for your interest and support =)
