5.0 out of 5 stars
Truly inspirational and humbling,
By
This review is from: Talk to the Hand (Paperback)
If ever you're feeling sorry for yourself, or wondering why all the bad stuff happens to you - just try reading this and I defy you to stay feeling that way. Nicole's book is refreshingly honest, tackling a difficult subject in a matter of fact way. Nicole was so full of life and did so much for others. Given her circumstances, many would have wondered whether life was worth living, but Nicole did more than just live, she clearly loved life, despite everything it had to throw at her.
