5.0 out of 5 stars Burning a candle at both ends.
A witty, honest account of a women's journey to the edge and back.

Too many commitments, too many responsibilities and not enough self assessment on her physical and emotional needs, leads Mary Kay into a 9 day coma.

Her family and friend's love and support during these days and Mary Kay's determination to live makes this story heartwarming and real.

A must read...

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read
I found this book very interesting. I could relate to the overworked supermom thing and her collapse carried a good message. I saw Mary Kay speak in person and she was riveting. I was hoping the book would also be riveting, but I would have to say "interesting" instead, if only because of some repetition and a lot of talk about how much everyone loves her and thinks she's...

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, May 28, 2005
This review is from: Wake Me When It's Over (Hardcover)
I found this book very interesting. I could relate to the overworked supermom thing and her collapse carried a good message. I saw Mary Kay speak in person and she was riveting. I was hoping the book would also be riveting, but I would have to say "interesting" instead, if only because of some repetition and a lot of talk about how much everyone loves her and thinks she's beautiful when she's in a coma. I understand that this felt wonderful to her, but it's one dimensional and got a little tiresome. Definitely worth a read though. I feel bad not being able to say "5 stars" because I really like her and she's a talented writer.
