It never gets old for me. There is just something about a beautiful review that encourages me to keep writing, reminding that my words do matter. Today I’m sharing 3 new reviews I came across on Amazon for 2 of my books – Words We Carry and Twenty Years: After “I Do”.   Visit this book on Amazon     Avid Reader 5.0 out of 5 stars A heart-warming memoir that made me smile a lot Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2020 Format: Kindle Edition A heart-warming memoir that made me smile a lot We’re nearly there, at 20 Years after “I Do”, my husband and I. I enjoyed this book tremendously. Kaye has a sharp sense oh humor, although it brought a tear or two in my eyes. It takes courage and pride to put your marriage life on paper, a testimony that respect and communication are at the very foundation of any relationship. Do not take tomorrow for granted, an advise I will gladly follow. This is the first book I read by Kaye. I discovered an author with a deep understanding and respect for life, in all its aspects. A poignant read, highly recommended for all ages, irrespective of where they find themselves in their relationship.

As a man reading this book, this was certainly an eye-opener! But D.G. Kaye doesn’t just deal with the superficial aspects of life and self-esteem from childhood to adulthood, she also covers relationships (including toxic ones), guilt, negativity, and how they all impact on self-worth. Books like this can easily descend into either the mawkish/self-obsessed or become hectoring. Ms. Kaye – writing in a charming and engaging style – walks the tightrope between these extremes well. Many folks, especially ladies, will find this an invaluable addition to their library. “Take ownership of yourself and your feelings.” Indeed, yes. *** Marina Osipova 5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for all of us, young and mature Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase In the authors’ words, “We need to love ourselves and respect ourselves before anyone else can. If there’s fire, get out!” is in the core of this unquestionably must-read book. I wish I’d read this insightful narrative many years ago. Anyone who’ll read D.G. Kaye’s story, I believe, would find something about herself. The kind and “talking with a friend” narrative—not lecturing but a friendly conversation heart-to-heart with us, her readers—prompted me to reflect on myself and admit that there is still a lot of work to do on the way to a happy, self-esteemed person. Though not a joyous subject, the author tactfully leads the reader to ruminate about herself from the positive point of view. What a wonderful way to learn how not to judge and not to deprecate yourself! What inspired me—and I trust every single word of the author—is that she tells her own story. Surviving the difficult, denigrating experiences of her childhood and young adult years, she had found a way to restore herself for a happy life. Even more, making it a mission to help her friends and us who got lucky to come across this amazing book. Would I have a daughter, this book would be my present for her 14th birthday. I can’t recommend Words We Carry highly enough.
