Amazon reviews for Crushed
This book was captivating and I couldn’t put it down!
I loved how the author showed greatness through trial and tribulation, and how real and raw her emotions were throughout the book. I laughed, I cried, and I celebrated as she conquered life throughout her journey! This book was life changing, deepening my vision as to how we can truly learn and become better from others experiences! Everyone who reads it will find some way that they can relate to the authors experiences and at the same time gain insight as to how to cope with the struggles of life! Such an amazing read! One that I will read over and over again!!!
It’s a great read! I was hooked from the start and read it in one sitting!
I am so happy Linda chose to share her personal journey from such inner turmoil to finding hope and joy in life once more! I was shocked to learn how well she hid how much she was actually suffering inside. It makes me wonder how many others may have similar false beliefs about themselves that are holding them back from the joy this life is meant to be. How grateful I am that she was courageous enough to face her struggles and challenge them! She is so open and descriptive of the healing process she took that anyone can benefit from her story.
What an amazing true story of hope and overcoming the seemingly impossible!!!
Heroes are not just fictional! This book provides encouragement that we all can overcome hard things. I was shocked to learn about such powerful inner struggles that can be hidden so well. It makes me wonder and/or understand other people in my life and makes me feel empowered to make a difference. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who are struggling with depression and anxiety (whether themselves or a from loved one).
Heartbreakingly resonant!
Heartbreakingly resonant for every invisible woman. A beautifully written display of how generational pain can lead to generational healing.
A very honest and insightful journey!
A very personal, honest and insightful journey of self reflection and emotional healing. We are all broken to some degree by this mortal journey and need to be aware of some of the tools we have to find healing and mending the things that create a false and negative self image. Linda has opened herself up in a very vulnerable way to allow you on that journey of healing in the hopes that you may find something of value in there to help with your healing. I did, and I hope you will as well.
