"Refreshingly frank. Writing, or as she calls it 'living out loud, ' is for Melton a bracing therapy to chase away loneliness, learn humility, and banish the fears of revealing the less than flattering sides of herself."

"An inspirational guide. Only by living in a state of loving vulnerability [was Melton able] to do what she desired most: touch others and be touched by them in return. Gentle words of wisdom from a woman driven by 'senseless, relentless hope.'"

But the magic of "Carry On, Warrior" is that by the time you finish the book, you realize you ARE all those things, and more. It is a book that actually makes you "feel" that you are loved and cherished. Has a book ever accomplished anything more marvelous than that?"--Vanessa Diffenbaugh, author of The Language of Flowers
