Nancy Cramer Reviews "Ashes in the Ocean" by Sebastian Slovin

Thank you to WOW! Women on Writing for the opportunity to participate in the book blog tour for Sebastian Slovin's Ashes in the Ocean. Review by Nancy Cramer: Reading Ashes in the Ocean by Sebastian Slovin brings suicide into the forefront. Being a nature lover, an athlete and a Yoga teacher extraordinaire, helps Sebastian confront and delve into his father’s suicide. A recollection of a childhood that could’ve been different. A realization of how a person lives their life and how it can form another person’s life. An awakening that what you have lived, what you think you know and what you find out can change who you become. Reading Ashes in the Ocean is enlightening!

Crystal Otto Reviews "The Summer of New Beginnings" by Bette Lee Crosby

This is no time for attachments—not to the adorable “Sox,” whose owner is bound to turn up any day, and certainly not to the handsome new vet in town. But as the summer unfolds, she discovers that, like Sox, she may need rescuing, too. As both si...
