Authors Tales
Appreciating Angels is a true story from the pen of new writer, Sally Asling.
It is a gritty, no holds barred account of her life story transitioning from an adolescent teen to a young woman.
On the surface, it’s a blow by blow account of Sally’s experiences of rape, drug abuse, self harming, anorexia and bulimia.
It is hard to imagine that anyone could emerge from such a process sane, never mind with the intelligence and bravery to tell the story.
“The pain of unrequited love, as seen from from both sides …”
Sally’s dyslexic tendency has blessed her with a word perfect recall of conversations. As a result, the dialogue is as raw as real life and not for the squeamish.
Despite the terrible events of her youth, Sarah’s spirit is strong and real lesson of the story is a testament to the strength of human spirit in the struggle against adversity.
“Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% what you make it.”
Sally’s story is a reminder to us all that blocks and challenges are put in our paths to help us grow and evolve. Along the way, if we listen and pay attention, we are never far from guides and angels … and true love.
