Book Description

March 21, 2006
Like a broken starfish that miraculously regenerates in ocean waters, Christina DiMari has experienced triumphant healing from a childhood filled with chaos and pain. Ocean Star is the story of how God found her in the midst of an abusive childhood, became the loving parent she never had, and revealed himself in tangible ways through her amazing life journey. Filled with insightful symbolism, Ocean Star will help Christians and non-Christians find hope, humor, and healing in a powerful true story of a broken life made new.

5.0 out of 5 stars really phenominal!, April 9, 2006
This review is from: Ocean Star: A Memoir (Paperback)
WOW! My book came yesterday~ I didnt put it down till the last page. I just wanted to hug you. Italian women are the strongest of all species (as my 98 yr. old Nonna Rose says) but you have a unique & amazing spirit and gusto, nothing will stop you from moving forward in a positive light. Just your being alive and raising a healthy , happy family is living proof.

I have 3 starfish on my mantle which represent to me my 3 teenagers, thru divorce & loss, their injured parts have also become regrown and reborn.

After reading Ocean Star I will hug my kids a little longer everynight and thank my parents and grandmother for always being there for me and my kids.

You have changed my thoughts on life and family forever.
I have a gold dolphin ring with 2 dolphins intertwined that i wear and now i look at it with different meaning.

Christina, may you continue to be blessed and to pass your gift of Ocean Star onto others.

With every good wish~
Amy Chaiken
