4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Short Stories by a Promising Writer April 12, 2012

By Carmie

Format:Kindle Edition

Ms. Campbell is a talented writer who shows great promise in the literary field. All four stories were interesting. Each was different from the one before, yet there was a common theme. The stories were entertaining, but also caused you to think and perhaps draw your own conclusions. Other stories could have been based on Ms. Campbell's subjectivity and own experiences--which proves to be intriguing for the reader. Either way, her talent as a writer is without question, and I look forward to her continued evolution and development of her protagonists. She will be on the bestseller list one day. That I believe for sure. Her short stories are worth the read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection Of Short Stories. January 6, 2013

By wenona

Format:Kindle Edition

Every story in this collection captivated my mind as the women dealt with things like first love and abuse. Some of the stories I could relate to and some left me thankful that I have never walked down that road before. Also, I enjoyed that each story was short enough that I could devour one over lunch each day until I reached the last word. Great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars a thoughtful collection of stories May 21, 2013

By Leti Del Mar

I wasn't sure what to expect with this collection but I was delightfully surprised to find 4 thoughtful and engaging short stories that had me thinking long after I had finished reading the collection. These are a fast read, but the stories will stay with you with their message. Each story is unique, the heroines of each story are diverse, yet they all are faced with a turning point in their lives. They each must decide to take a leap of faith .. or not. I enjoyed the way that the different women in the stories make some very different decisions and we get to see some very different results. The stories in the collection are held together with a common theme, but they each feel unique. One was more of a romance, another was full of action, one was a heartrending drama and another was full of drama and suspense. So if you are looking for a quick and satisfying read, you won't go wrong with this little gem!

3.0 out of 5 stars Leaping Out On Faith December 18, 2012

By Knowles

Leaping Out on Faith is a collection of short stories. The stories are from four very different women in completely differing situations.

I enjoyed the collection, but I have to say short stories just leave me wanting more. I normally don't read short stories for this very reason. The writing is superb, and I love learning about these extraordinary ladies. But I would love to see one of these stories turned into a complete novel. I look forward to more wonderful works from a very talented author. I would give this 3 out of 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Promising Indie writer May 12, 2012

Rochelle Campbell's short story collection "Leaping Out On Faith" certainly makes you think. Each story, featuring a woman who is faced with a difficult choice/decision to make, is well written and composed in such a way that it is easy to read, and the reader wants to know more. There are four short stories with the titles: "The Green Years", "Chambray Curtains Blowing in the Wind", "Knocking at the Door" and "All God's Men".

Whilst I do not typically read this genre I was pleasantly surprised by the second story, "Chambray Curtains Blowing in the Wind", and found the characters to be quite vivid, especially given the length of the story. I was sucked in and provided with an entertaining story that dramatically exposed the author's storytelling ability in a dramatic context, elements of which are likely all too real for many women. "All God's Men" was interesting but could have been longer to fully explore the characters and explore the central themes.

Rochelle Campbell is a strong writer with a small, but growing, solid foundation of work. Rochelle Campbell's writing is an example of Indie writers working hard to address the criticisms suggesting that one shouldn't read self-published works. One still has to choose wisely between Indie publications but Rochelle Campbell's writing and editing makes her a safe choice.
