Excellent Book
I'm writing this for my son Spencer. He has dictated: I'm six years old. I liked that Alexis played soccer. And how Matt played baseball.

This Book Probably Changed My Life
When I was in fifth grade, I remember I was sitting in music class when the librarian stopped by to ask me to return this book. One of the teachers wanted to use it in class, and I'd had it out so long, no one else could get a shot at it! I was an only child, very bookish and introverted. I read and reread this book. I married a guy who planned to become a Methodist minister (like Helen ...

AmErica House, 2001

A Book that had to be Written
This is a timely, no-holds barred story of what happens when a mother, because of the circumstances of her life, must give up her children to adoption and of her lifelong need to find them. The author speaks from experience, which gives her book an authentic ring. It was one she had to write in order to come to terms with her life experience. Her readers are happy she did, especially all those ...

Great Illustrations/ Good Message
We also saw the author read this book. My 3 and 5 year old love it. Minerva does naughty things to get attention. When it does not work, she cries. Her Dad reminds her it is better to get noticed for doing good things. A good message taught in a sensitive and realistic style. Great artwork.

Walker & Company, 2003

Simple, solid and marriage saving
As a professional in the field, what I like about Nobody's Baby Now is that the author gets to the point quickly and in clear, concise language. The author makes complicated problems and issues with parents easy to sort out and resolve. Her real life examples make you think she's talking about you and your parents. She has solutions for adult children who resort to child-like behavior when ...

It's Nobody's Fault: New Hope and Help for Difficult Children and Their Parents

Three Rivers Press, 1997

Questioning Medicine?
If you are a parent and are questioning whether or not you should medicate your child, you should read this book. No parent wants to put their child on medicine. This book has helped me realize that medicine is needed for certain disorders and therapy alone does not work all of the time. This book is very informative and will help you understand that yes, medicine does help along with therapy. ...

Audio Literature, 1994

The book is excellent because it relates to my disability!
I think Donna Williams is one of the world's greatest authors. Although she suffers from pervasive developmental disorder, (autism related), she has shown great courage and will be of great benefit in the future for other people with disabilities. I suffer, myself, from Asperger's Syndrome (I am 23 years old) and I have benefited from Donna's three autobiographies written. I am trying hard to ...

Not Just Anything: A Collection of Thoughts on Paper

Donna Williams

Jessica Kingsley, 2004

A different kind of autobiography
These poems affected me, touched me, sometimes made me chuckle. They are full of the creativity and inspiration for life that is Donna Williams. In other words, they are another installment in the Donna Williams autobiography series though told episodically, and more sensingly. The book is a journey of feeling, quite an experience.

Nobody Much: Life on the Farm With Granny Cool

Barbara McIntyre

Madison Books, 2002

Hair, clothes, boys, and fudge
Barbara McIntyre may be the first person ever to write a flattering portrait of her mother-in-law. The lead character in the book, Margaret McIntyre, is thoroughly likeable--funny, street-smart, compassionate, and though she cares immensely about how her hair looks and which bracelet and earrings set to wear to the horse races, she's utterly devoid of airs. Maybe this is because Margaret spent ...

Lily Books/1stco. Books, 2002

Truly Uplifting and Inspirational!
This was truly an uplifting, heartwarming book. It made me laugh and cry as I could relate the author's true stories to my own life and marriage. This book is not just for couples struggling with infertility problems, but a must read for every woman. It was highly inspirational and rejuvenated my Faith-definitely a lily to me.

Opa Nobody (American Lives)

Sonya Huber

University of Nebraska Press, 2008

Memoir, But More Than Just Memoir
In Opa Nobody, Sonya Huber expands the territory of the memoir by engaging in speculation of the most fruitful kind about the family history that history itself conspired to make only partially available. The result is a memoir reminiscent of novels that incorporate similar strategies, among them Philip Roth's American Pastoral and William Styron's Sophie's Choice. Lofty company, this, but it is ...

Nobody Nowhere: the Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic

Donna Williams

Avon, 1994

Autistic Girl Reviewing an Autistic Book
If I could describe this book in one word it would be "safe." Donna's world winsomely twinkles, it's no wonder she--and all autistics--find the "real" world terrifying. She describes in childlike trust and a type of naive bluntness her inability to connect with others. Her bluntness is not synonymous with bravado, and that becomes quite clear as she tells of her harrowing childhood. This book is ...

Phil Link

Down Home Press, 2001

Nobody Left to Ask
This small book creates a big and clear picture of life not easily reproduced. A time that could easily be lost forever if it were not for Mr. Link's clear recollection and superbly comfortable writing style. Reading this book was a great experience. I could almost smell and hear the times returning when my parents were young and experiencing their life's events for the first time. Thanks, ...

Michele, Ed.D. Borba

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Really Useful Book
My son's teachers kept telling me my son was overly competitive and bossy -- They said he'd make a great CEO but right now it was really harming his relationship with other kids. They recommended Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me. I have to tell you that I had doubts -- I've tried these parenting books and if you can find one idea that is useful you're jumping up and down. This one really is ...

Kris Gillespie, Brian Gillespie

Destination Publications, 2000

So funny it hurts
The authors have taken every day situations that we all experience and really showed the humor in them. I was grateful to learn that I am not the only one that dodges tight situations with the spouse daily. There are so many funny parts of this book, everyone will relate to at least a few of them. AN EXCELLENT GIFT!

Charis Books, 1995

Excellent reference for Catholic Parents
This is a wonderful guide for Catholic parents. I wonder about the title because I think Catholics who are active now in the Church know that being Catholic isn't about guilt but about freedom and grace. I can't speak for the experience years ago, but...for me, the "guiltless" part of the book wasn't what made it worth the money, but rather the "parenting" part. It's full of great ideas for ...

Rasheed Clark

March Third, 2006

What are friends for?!?!
Admit it, we all have them. Me. And yes, you! We all have secrets. We've all done and/or said things we wouldn't tell anybody but God out of fear nobody would understand. Author Rasheed Clark gathered up a few, mixed them together and created his debut novel. In a "telling it like it is, hold no punches" manner, Rasheed chronicles the drama filled lives of four best friends, Brian, Sista, ...
