Just Love her - Book Review:

"Hayes' book Just Love Her is a reflection of how she learned to love and heal herself while her daughter, Angie, was addicted to drugs. It is an amazing account of how we must first heal ourselves, and only then can we become present to heal others. When Angie decided to it was time to come home... Trina was ready to be open to the challanges they would face. The book is for everyone. As parents, we must look within ourselves to uncover past hurts, so that our hidden anger, sadness and fear is not projeted onto our children. Only then will be free of judgement towards our our children's choices and we will be able to JUST LOVE THEM. ~Concerned Parent~

Fear to Fear - Book Review:

"Fear to Fire is more than a story about aids, it hits on many issues society neatly sweeps under the carpet. Stephanie blows the carpet clear off the floor by bluntly and honestly describing the events that have unfolded in her life. I admire her for the courage she has to tell her story. Fear to Fire is an emotional journey from devastation and defeat, to adoration and safety, to sorrow and hell, to reconciliation and forgiveness – and finally victory. Fear to Fire, like its author, is an inspiration and a message of hope for all. ---Steve Holowicki"
