Attention all MOMS

I just finished this amazing book and would highly recommend it to everyone who is a mom, has a mom or wants to become a mom. This book made me so thankful to have had a great mom and challenges me to become the very best mom ever. I read the book myself and then bought one for everyone I know. It is a true story about how to navigate through life with a real message of encouragement and hope.

really phenominal!

WOW! My book came yesterday~ I didnt put it down till the last page. I just wanted to hug you. Italian women are the strongest of all species (as my 98 yr. old Nonna Rose says) but you have a unique & amazing spirit and gusto, nothing will stop you from moving forward in a positive light. Just your being alive and raising a healthy , happy family is living proof. I have 3 starfish on my mantle which represent to me my 3 teenagers, thru divorce & loss, their injured parts have also become regrown and reborn. After reading Ocean Star I will hug my kids a little longer everynight and thank my parents and grandmother for always being there for me and my kids. You have changed my thoughts on life and family forever. I have a gold dolphin ring with 2 dolphins intertwined that i wear and now i look at it with different meaning. Christina, may you continue to be blessed and to pass your gift of Ocean Star onto others. With every good wish~ Amy Chaiken

Its a story of courage, as the author takes you back into her childhood and along her journey of faith with the God that heals her broken life; giving her an incredible message of healing to all the other broken ocean stars. This book will be life-changing... you MUST read it.
