Hi Lou,

I just wanted to let you know that I finished your book last weekend and loved it.
The book was truly inspiring and also motivating. After spending time talking to you when you visited, the book put all the pieces together of your life.

Good luck with the book, and thanks for writing it.

Thanks for writing your book….
Yesterday I got your book. I am almost finished reading it.
Thanks. I can’t thank you enough. I too have suffered sexual abuse. Somewhat different. But I benefitted from your book. ❤️ Love you and Leslie. I’m still exploring, growing and trying to understand the process. Thanks.
