| Editorial Review: | Laine Cunningham combines tenacity and courage along with profound insight. I keep Laine's books on a special shelf in my library, referring to them when I need inspiration. Pamela King Cable, Author, The Sanctum and Televenge "The fact that Laine Cunningham spent six long months on her own in the Australian outback before writing this book leant a rich authenticity to her voice as she shared from her abundantly full, and talented, heart." Leah Griffith, Author, Cosette's Tribe "Laine Cunningham ... is our spiritual messenger bringing us universal truths. Mesmerizing and meaningful and inspiring." Grady Harp, Vine Voice, Hall of Fame Reviewer "Her goal is to assist each individual in identifying the message that is meaningful to them on their own individual journey. An affirmation of life." Shirley, Goodreads Reviewer |
