Customer Reviews

A good book.

It is a good book because LeAne worked hard on it. I know this because I know her; she spent a long time working on it, and it turned out pretty good. I have read parts of her book and they are really good. She is my mom - I am very proud of her.

A Book Everyone Can Relate To

LeAne writes in an easy flowing style with lots of metaphors and word pictures that makes reading her book very enjoyable and easy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because her use of word pictures allowed me to picture the message she was trying to convey. I could relate to a few stories in the book, particularly the one entitled "I Miss Him". I know that all couples can relate to the feelings of this story and can relate to how easy it is to take a loved one for granted until it is too late. I looked at my relationship with my husband differently after reading this story and appreciate him so much more. Any parent can relate to the story "My Sons". This book is a book in which the author made herself vulnerable and exposed a part of herself which many of us would prefer to keep hidden. Her gift of herself and the way she so beautifully expresses her experiences and feelings allows the reader to feel like someone else can relate to anything they may have experienced in their own life. The book is easy to read, difficult to put down and thoroughly enjoyable. I recommend it highly!

Worth the read

It is nice to see into the soul of a really good person. Read this with a cup of tea, a fireplace.

Heartwarming

Wonderful book , unique way of expressing her life's challenges. Enjoyed the Grandmother part. Much unique descriptive analogies....Enjoyed the description of what spiritual warefare is..what I know from a christian aspect of fiery darts and demons....If you build your house on a rock you will not be tormented by the storms..and crashing waves...and if you build your house on sand youll sink....Guard your heart...Keep your armor on ......God Bless

A Hidden Gem of a Book

"Rooms Where I Live" is quite a beautiful little book. Reading it, one does move through the different rooms of the author's life, and shares the whole range of her emotions and experiences. The writing style is quite lovely and lyrical, moving between prose and poetry and song, and connects with the reader's imagination to paint the scene in one's mind.The author, LeAne Austin, does what all good writers do. She takes her personal experiences and makes them yours. She takes her unique perspectivesand makes them universal. I'm sure everyone that reads this will find passages that they can relate to, that will bring back a cherished happy memory, or bring light and healing to an unhappy one.She speaks from her heart, and will speak to yours. Give your self a gift, and make a space for this book on your shelf. You will find yourself returning to it again and again.
