While the entire Finding Mother Series provides a window into dealing with a loved one who suffers from a mental illness, this final book, Diary of Emotions, speaks to the heart of the struggle the author has gone through. Her in-depth, conflicting emotions covered throughout this book offer a raw and real view of the complexities of love and acceptance. Leslie Arambula, MA in Creative Writing, English Teacher This diary is a very interesting and enjoyable read. It is an excellent window for people to look into the author's heart. Phyllis Harris, Former Missouri State Director, Parent Information Resource Center I like the vulnerability shown in Diary of Emotions. The author captured the true essence of being enthralled in emotions as she stepped outside of her own understanding to gain new awareness and insight into her mother's mental illness. This book could benefit secondary school students. Jacob Kelow, M.S.Ed., Secondary School Counselor, Kansas City Public Schools I thoroughly enjoyed every book in the Finding Mother Series, but Diary of Emotions was my favorite. Dimitra Manda, BA in English Language and Literature, English Teacher In Diary of Emotions, the author openly shares her desires, experiences, and uncertainties after reuniting with her mother. Dr. Mary E. McConnell, Educator, University of Missouri - Kansas City
