“Marcelene’s book brings so much more healing to the world. The most profound message is the power of love and the necessity to love and honor those who are struggling in life. . . . I honor her for such immortal love and for the courage to share this story. . . . I have never known anyone with such a profound love, and such dedication to evolving and expressing and inspiring through that love. Marcelene is the epitome of God expressed through a human being.”
— Patricia Holt, attorney and editor

“Marcelene tells her story with an unflinching truth and compassion that clearly lives in her heart as purely expressed in her words and deeds. . . . Her interminable unconditional love for her daughter, Sommer, kept the bond between them alive, unbroken throughout the ravages wrought by her addiction. This is truly rare; addiction all too often tears apart the love fibers of the strongest hearts. Sommer’s body did not fully recover from the addiction and she died. But the bond of their love, strained, was never broken and endures unblemished by the scars that wounding brings. The value of that is beyond measure; this is a story and message that needs to be told—and repeated.”
