This review is from: Skipping Through Life, The Reason I Am (Paperback)
Ms. McClain opens the window of life and allows the reader to look in. She boldly takes the risk of sharing her pains in life with others. Ms. McClain also proves that a "lemon can be turned into lemonade" through her ability to rise above a chaotic family situation. This story is packed with inspiration.

This review is from: Skipping Through Life, The Reason I Am (Paperback)
Though under seventy pages, SKIPPING THROUGH LIFE: THE REASON I AM by Sylvia McClain is an emotional ride that passes through the streets of happiness, despair, and understanding. In this memoir, Ms. McClain opens the gates to her past, reflective of the roads she's crossed while traveling through the journey of life. Though some parts of the book were painful, I was left with a feeling of closure and acceptance as I reflected back on my own life.McClain expertly teaches that joy comes from within and that when we follow our dreams, accept our failures, and move on with life, we can truly begin to live.

This review is from: Skipping Through Life, The Reason I Am (Paperback)
Accepting life on life's terms and coming through unscathed... this rings through every word of Sylvia McClain?s autobiographical collection of stories entitled Skipping Through Life: The Reason I Am.Each story details a stage in the author?s life starting from early remembrances of her father in ?Daddy?, musings on her first boyfriend in ?First Love?, and moving on into rebuilding life as she knew it after a tragic accident in ?Before and After.? Skipping Through Life gives readers a candid peek into the real life of a real woman, highlighting each and every element that comprises her. Although short in comparison to most books in the memoir genre, Skipping Through Life is no less a poignant and enthralling read. Ms. McClain places her heart and soul on each page, daring readers to take a look and find their own lives, or pieces of it, in her words. Skipping Through Life: The Reason I Am is a warm and witty celebration of Sylvia's survival through the inevitable transitions life throws her way. This compilation offers stories that readers from every walk of life can relate to, filled with humour, compassion and realism.
