Editorial Reviews

Review

"…Vivid portrayal of the many challenges we face in our daily life. What more as our personal challenges mount on a daily basis, we have little or no answers to these life issues. I found myself unable to put Quieting the Storm down. Seemingly, its pivotal character, brilliantly set as a metaphor of life, is aptly named Quiet…" --Ronald G. Bookman, President, Ron Bookman & Associates, Inc

"…Communicates well information and ideas with others while it presents its thoughts and actions clearly and concisely with relevant details…establishes trust, credibility, and confidence…looking forward to a feature or mini series." --Charnele Brown, Actress, A Different World

"…From emotions of laughter to tears, Shelley Parsons' debut novel unequivocally touches each one of them. You are sure to find yourself in the world of characters Quiet and Rose…" --Tara Carthen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, November 2, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Quieting the Storm (Perfect Paperback)

Shelley parson has shown great imagination and skill with quieting the storm as the book tends to be inspirationally realistic, encouraging, and a reading motivator. The storyline paints vivid imageries in the mind of readers with its relateable issues to life, love, and deceit and I'm looking forward to up-and-coming books of hers. And an interesting thing to know is what happened to the fall out between tommy and his ex andrea?...Although it is common for a man to leave his woman for another, the reasons aren't always as common.

This review is from: Quieting the Storm (Perfect Paperback)

This book is so well written that i actually felt i knew these characters in real life. The many life experiences of Quiet throughout her story had my emotions floating back and forth from tears of joy to sharing her tears of pain. If you are looking for a good book to curl up on your sofa for moments of pure reading pleasure this is the book for you.
