  Thank you WOW! Women on Writing for sharing the moving memoir, Breaking the Silence by Nancy King! I was excited to be one of the first to read this book and even more excited to share my 5 Star Review! and just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I was able to share this inspirational memoir with my friend Michelle DelPonte who couldn't get her hands on it fast enough! Before we get to Michelle's review - let's find out more about the book itself!  About Breaking the Silence :   Secrets. Lies. Silences.

  Cathy Hansen is a mother and small business owner from the Midwest. She wrote me after reading the first chapter of Robert Hoffman's book "Blind Spot" - and said she was hooked and couldn't wait to find out how things played out. She knew from the very beginning she was going to love this week and I'm excited to share her entire review with all of you today! xoxox Crystal - the Big Lemon Herself!!!

But before we hear from Carmen, a bit more from the author himself about Blind Spot : In this comedy/drama, based very, very loosely on my own experiences, a middle-aged father of three named Doug Kaplan appears to have it all. An attractive and supportive wife, three healthy boys, and a successful career.  He doesn’t shy away from his responsibilities as a father or as a son to his aging parents, and he is valued and respected at work.  However, all his life he has been plagued by the accusation that he does suffer from one significant character flaw, a subtle but substantial penchant for being selfish, a flaw that he is largely oblivious to.
