Customer Reviews

This book has something for everybody

Finding one's `voice' is no small feat, and letting us go along for the journey is quite brave. Sharon's book made me appreciate that while we may take different paths, there's the shared experience of living that connects us all. Her story is beautifully told and the journal entries were fun to read, as well as surprising at their realness. Reflective, funny, jubilant and sad (but ultimately triumphant), it leaves you satisfied and wanting more at the same time. I'm inspired to pick up my journal again!

To experience an extraordinary journey, READ THIS BOOK!

It is not often when you read a book, particularly about self-discovery, where you can picture and find yourself in between the lines. Ms. Simpson Joseph not only shares her story of life, but conveys it in a manner that is unique, exciting and satisfying. It only takes one paragraph for the reader to be driven and excited about reading the next entries. It is bold, honest, enlightening, candid, and a must read. As a fellow Queens, New Yorker, I encourage others to take this fabulous journey.

Take the journey!

This author lets you ride shotgun on her journey from childhood to womanhood. I felt "let into" her life -- the good, the bad and the in between. I really liked and respected that. I found reading "And How My Spirit Soars" refreshing and inspiring like a very honest conversation--sometimes painful, sometimes funny--conversation with a very good friend. I highly recommend!

Simply Fabulous!

My spirit truly soared after reading this book. Growing up in Queens, this book brought back some wonderful memories from my young adult life. What I enjoyed most about ...spirit soars was that as Sharon examined her life and tried to find her purpose in life, it caused me to examine my own experiences and attempt to define my own purpose in life. I laughed and cried along with the author as I recalled similar experiences. This is a must read for all young women and even those not so young.

I love this book!

An extraordinary journaling experience of an incredible journey! A story of tenacity, purpose and determination to reach a better path paved with love and grace.
