Book Description

Journals are a woman's best friend...
When Samantha Sounder quits her office manager job the day after yet another boyfriend breaks up with her, the emotional havoc of these two events launches the beginning of her new life.
Samantha dives into therapy with Ragnar Axel, a traditional therapist who explores her failed relationships and sends her on a wild goose chase through her old journals to rediscover herself.
Despite the unsettling reactions of her best friend, Amanda, and Ragnar, Samantha decides to walk away from the corporate world and follow her dream as a novelist. She sets out to craft her first novel, Winter's Truth. Hesitantly, she accepts the unexpected guidance from Craig, an unlikely man she meets at the coffee shop.
Along her journey, Samantha picks up a new journal and titles it her "Positive Journal," declaring to only write positive thoughts in it. Samantha's life transforms from one of despair and loss to hope and faith as she navigates through new territory and explores the possibility of finding love over lattes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Read! Truly engaging and inspiring. September 6, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Write From the Heart is a powerful yet relatable story. Samantha, the main character, is multidimensional and the more I read, the more I got to know and admire her strength. She is smart, charming and best of all, honest. I enjoyed accompanying her on a her powerful journey and admired her relentless passion. Write from the Heart is one of those books that keeps you going even after you put it down. Heather Hummel truly wrote from her heart! I am looking forward to reading Heather's other novel, Whispers From the Heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong when it's from the HEART!! August 22, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I have said it before... Author Heather Hummel is a true talent with words! Writing from the Heart is a wonderful story on the power of positive thinking and a reminder how we have the power to control our own destiny. Her character is the perfect balance of smart, fun, and honest. In some way, any woman can relate and learn from this character's emotional and inspirational journey. Her ability to face her reality and move forward through her journal writing as a tool to reconnect with herself allows the reader to "get close" with her as she fights for her dream. Her journey is a balance of all the necessities needed to make her passion her reality. Hummel does a fabulous job giving insight into the process of writing and the power and weight of words. I want a Lattes with Love!

The title could not be more perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book! June 23, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thank you so much for offering the free downloads of WHISPERS FROM THE HEART and WRITE FROM THE HEART! I didn't know if they went in order or not, but read WRITE FROM THE HEART yesterday. I couldn't go to bed until I finished it. I absolutely loved the book and style of writing. I instantly felt a connection to the main character Samantha in the story and had to find out how the story ended. I would definitely give this book a 5 star review! I will be starting the next book later today. I am discovering so many different authors this way that I may never have read before. I will be anxiously awaiting more of Heather Hummel's writing, especially the FROM THE HEART series.

This was a nice story, but it lacked excitement. There was no conflict or real plot. It reminded me of a child's writing--just telling the story without basic story elements.
