Moving, inspirational and a book bursting with love. Reading Dr. Cohen's work has taught me much about life and its lessons. A Blessing in Disguise is a book which provides great benefit to all who read its pages.

A gifted book from a gifted poet, doctor, and anthologist. "A Blessing in Disguise" flows gently from its soothing cover to its final page. Cohen's poems provide lovely transitions from one author to the next. Cohen has amassed an impressive collection of stories and storytellers. The intimacy she has evoked from some of our more influential individuals is compelling and applicable.

This book contains a lot of wisdom from writers that I respect and some that I had never heard of. I think we all can look back and recognize a life lesson we've learned through hardship and pain.

Great book! Interesting and extremely inspirational! I love this book! Shared it with all my friends and co-workers.

Heartwarming and transformative - each story and poem has its own uplifting medicine. It's a book I keep by my night table and seem to find just what I need when I pick it up. Dr. Cohen weaves her wonderful poems throughout the chapters, and provides personal transformation questions at the end of the book. I'm buying copies for all my friends and family!
