Book Reviews

"Dr. Smith has a knack for weaving a story through troublesome times and rebounding to a better life. He writes so good that his book was difficult to put down until I found out what was happening and what the outcome might be. As a doctor, Dr. Smith's writing is equal to some other professional authors I've read. I once read a book rejoiced by many critics, so I had to read it cover to cover. Unfortunately, that book was one of the worst books I've read. This book is well worth the effort because it identifies our problems, but also allows us to find the solutions. A doctor's story has introduced me to a super book."

"I highly recommend this book. It is well written and so interesting I couldn't hardly put it down. The story really relates to everyday life and is so encouraging as the story unfolds. Don't miss this great read."

"Having suffered through events in my life that set me back, I was interested in checking out this book to see what it had to offer. After I started reading it, I had a hard time putting it down. The suspense makes you want to keep reading and see what happens next. Moving mountains is God's specialty."

The Book Review

I recently came across The Chrysalis Caretaker. I just wanted to say how deeply moved I was by Sarah Ashton’s story. Her journey through pain, hope, and healing reflects the struggles of so many people often unseen and your book brings that emotional reality into the light with compassion and grace.

Your work resonated with me as a reminder that even in brokenness, there’s the potential for transformation. Thank you for writing something so needed in today’s world.

"The Chrysalis Caretaker is a beautifully introspective and spiritually rich novel that speaks directly to the quiet desperation so many carry. Sarah Ashton’s journey through tragedy and toward healing is deeply relatable, and her path, guided by faith, resilience, and community, offers exactly the kind of redemptive message so many readers are hungry for today.

What strikes me most is how you’ve blended Christian themes with universal truths: loss, struggle, the need for unconditional love, and the courage it takes to face the past. The Caretaker, as both a symbolic and spiritual figure, offers a profound reminder that we are never truly alone in our pain."

I recently had the pleasure of reading The Chrysalis Caretaker, and I wanted to personally reach out to you. Your portrayal of Sarah Ashton’s journey through loss, trauma, and ultimate resilience was both heart-wrenching and deeply inspiring. The emotional battles she faces, especially with Wylie as a persistent antagonist, highlight the inner strength so many readers are searching to see reflected in fiction. What touched me most was the Caretaker’s quiet but powerful presence, gently guiding Sarah toward healing and self-discovery. You’ve captured the pain and hope that exist side by side in this world, and your story truly speaks to the brokenhearted.
