Reviews not only help to advertise, they give an insight for new potential readers of what other readers think about the book, thereby giving you a reason to buy or not to buy the book.

The UK did Brexit, like the world it is also in Covid-19, which has made it even more difficult for me to get myself out there, so I rely on potential readers goodwill and reviews.

As part of my recent tour for Cerebral Palsy: 'A Story' with @Instabooktours, below are a couple more reviews. I hope they will give you reason to buy my book and read about mental health and emotional wellbeing, as the pandemic continues to affect mental health.

This is the incredible story of Ilana Estelle.

Born the second of premature twins, an hour apart, from a young age Ilana knew she was different, but for all the wrong reasons. A child of the 60s, Ilana experienced first-hand the way that disability was, at the time, so often brushed under the carpet, not spoken about. Her constant physical and mental struggles made her feel isolated, alone, frustrated, and misunderstood. It took 46 years for her to find out why.

Part memoir, part motivational guide, Cerebral Palsy: My story is Ilana's open and honest journey from an angry, confused child, knowing something was wrong, not knowing what was wrong, what her disability was, or that there was a diagnosis - to the 'real' her - a courageous woman using her experiences and lessons to create inspiring messages about mental and physical health, resilience, and change.

MY THOUGHTS

I didn't know what to expect from this book having no experience with any sorts of disabilities or knowing anything about cerebral palsy, but this was a really eye opening read.

It's really emotional in parts and I can't imagine how a child can go through what Ilana did, clearly, it's made her a very strong person and that shines through in this inspiring book.

It's very easy to read with short chapters and clear headings. Anyone can take something from this book with its messages about positive thinking and mindfulness.

Thank you to Ilana and Vic for having me on the tour and for the copy of this fabulous book.

An open and honest read which is guaranteed to touch your heart! ♥️ A true story of a woman who wasn’t diagnosed with cerebral palsy until her late 40s. She explains how different her childhood was not being able to do things like all the children and being in pain, yet not knowing why. It’s truly heart-breaking to read what she went through. Life is difficult as it is being child, having the frustrations of learning and growing up never mind adding an undiagnosed disability to the mix.

Not only is the book a story into the authors life but also a motivational guide to help others. Help others find a balance in life, with a dive into self-discovery.

Ilana is a strong, courageous, and inspirational woman. She hasn’t let her tough past define her and I’m in awe of her.
