Brilliantly written and read.

This was the perfect tonic for me to listen to whilst feeling a bit sorry for myself. It gave me just the push I needed to get up and get on with it. The author has such a wonderful way of describing her pain and she gives just enough reference to her past without dwelling too long or laying unhealthy blame. A great big lesson on taking responsibility for our own healing and getting “Buff” both emotionally and physically.

Inspirational read.

Pollyannas story deeply touched me and inspired me to go for Gold in my life..to rise above any limitations I may be holding within myself..
I love that she conveys the pain body as being something more than just an accident that happenned to her...it is a lifetime of experiences that contribute to the healing of our whole body..

The author has such a wonderful turn of phrase.

The story captured me from the start. I loved the jumping around from present day to memory written in the child’s voice.
Such an extraordinary writer, so beautifully descriptive and has you right there beside her.
I do hope this book will speak to those who have chronic pain (don’t we all in some way?)
