This review is from: Songs of Survival: Life Is a Journey (Paperback)

This book by Barbara Ann Duffy is aptly named; it "sings" to you from beginning to end. Although it is not separated into chapters or sections, it is composed of themes: life's journey, trials and troubles, lost love and relationships, family and friendship, soul-searching and self, and survival and inspiration. Surely everyone who reads the author's words will again and again think - that's me!! That is the magic of her book - it speaks to almost everyone at one time or another; and when it is not speaking to one personally, it is showing them a life that survived. How difficult, but how cathartic, it must have been for her to bare her deepest feelings to others.

"Where Are You, God" is a masterpiece: "My Child..... You have been so busy with your search that you failed to understand that to reach your goal you must look within." Barbara Duffy bears her soul and takes the reader with her through abuse, divorce, cancer, lost loves; and love, her children, her Dad, friends; and finally herself and her discovered voice. "....I went to the ocean this morning and watched the darkness give way to dawn, and in that glorious moment, my immortal soul was once more reborn."
