This is a story of a woman and her many travels throughout her life with her husband and children. I bought it because I thought it was more about her Near-death experiences and how she coped with that, but the story is really about HER. Yes, she does have some Near-Death Experiences, but that is only secondary is the story behind her terrible asthma problems. Her travelling experiences are interesting, especially about different cultures, like Iran and other countries, but most of the book in entertwined around her asthma difficulties. Perhaps the title should read "My Asthma and Europe". That would be more appropiate. Bottom Line : I did enjoy the book for the travel narrative, but I'm a little tired of her affliction and she's too far away from me to hand her an inhaler, so I got frustrated.

I am a published author (The Love Song of the Universe), and received a copy of this book from Gloria Gieseke and her husband, Cliff, several days ago. I usually do not have time to read others' manuscripts or books, but today I was strangely unable to access the computer for about eight hours. While I waited for my son to come over and install a new modem, I read Gloria's book. I have to say that I loved it, especially all of the messages of love that clearly come from what Gloria has experienced.

The book also gave me a new understanding of "asthma," something that many of us dismiss as being a trivial inconvenience. I think I now have an understanding of how truly frightening it must be to be unable to breathe.

There is a great sense of simple peace and an understanding of love that comes through in this book. It speaks of an awareness and acknowledgement that there is much, much more to the universe all around us than we have been led to believe. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the people, customs and kindness the family encountered in many different countries.
