5.0 out of 5 stars Love forever, March 23, 2002

This review is from: Autumn Farewell (Paperback)

Evrybody should read this book, and I mean it. Elsa talks about what make us humans beings, not just beings. Inconditional love, patience, solidarity, courage, dignity, laughs, empathy and more. This book is about loving and accepting people as it is, no judgments are needed. Elsa gives us a leson of humanity. She was the Mom/Ma that we all should have.

The book will make you laugh and cry, because hard experiences are written, but happy times are written too. What I really like of this book is the sincerity: what the hell do you care if I sleep with a woman or with a man? It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it still does matter. That is the reason why we need more people like Elsa and more people reading this book.

Read it! It will make you a better person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unconditional Love, February 9, 2002

This review is from: Autumn Farewell (Paperback)

To read a book that is so intense and moving that it exudes deep emotions about a rare thing as unconditional love is overwhelming.

I must congratulate Elsa Burgess Flores on overcoming so much, and for staying brave, in spite of all of the heartache, and for being the kind of MOM every kid should have - loving, understaning, resourceful, patient, courageous and for holding out hope for those who are still here, and need of help.

God bless her work, and may God confort her heart, for her loss, which is so incredible, it's hard to imagine anyone more wonderful than her, who chose to make the very negative into the very positive.

Elsa, I know your sons are rooting for you from the other side! I am too!

I highly recommend this book be read by everyone!

Charlie.

This review is from: Autumn Farewell (Paperback)

I have read this wonderful book three times; each time it moved and touched me deeply. I will probably read it again!

The contents of this book depicts a taste of everything that it takes to be a human being, to feel the intense love that continues after a tragedy and the terrible cruelty provoked by the ignorance and the lack of spirituality.

I believe that everyone should hear what Elsa has to say. Her book is much more than a book of memories. It is a diary of what happened to one mother and her two sons. The book is a lesson in humanity; a quality that so many of us forget and yet we call ourselves humans.
