I love Sharon, but it felt like she wrote this book only because the first one did so well. I didn’t really feel like I learned anything new, and a lot of it just rehashed stories or advice from the first book. It was still entertaining, but I was hoping for more fresh insights or behind the scenes moments.
An inspiration to any woman who wants to love fiercely and live fully
You have to admire this strong, passionate woman and how she defends her family. How hard she tries to do the right thing, how passionately she approaches life and death.
I'll be referring to this book for advice in the future.
