Another great review came in today for my novel The Soul Bearers by Maria Snell, blogger and book reviewer. Her blog is called "Flair".

This is what Maria said about my novel:

The Soul Bearers by Sylvia Massara is an absolute triumph! This is the story we  all wish we could write! It is one of the most deep soul touching, more profound  novels I have ever read. The depth of the despair and love that  these three  characters feel is unequaled to anything I have ever experienced
through a book.  This is a story of love and loss, of rejection and acceptance,
of life and  death, of hope and rebirth. You will cry your eyes out - it was a
deeply  cathartic read for me. Beautifully written, with characters that will get under  your skin and you will embrace, with a depth of humanity unparalleled
to any  other book I have read, poetic and raw at the same time. Hope; hope is
the word  that defines this book: hope in spite of certain death, hope in spite
of  rejection and abuse, hope resulting from true unconditional love. Hope that  heals, hope that forgives, hope that is the way to rebirth. Love as the only important thing worth living for. Alex will find love - both spiritual and   physical - through the love shared by Steve and Matthew, a love that will grow   to embrace her too and help her exorcise the demons of her very abusive  childhood. And healing will come on the wings of a butterfly.

This book is a definite MUST READ. No holds barred, no caveats. This book will show you pure, unadulterated love and hope through tears and loss.

 
Sylvia Says: Thank you, Maria, for your candid review of my novel. By the way, this review was not solicited. Maria asked for a copy of the book to review, and knowing she's an excellent reviewer, I sent her a copy hoping she would like it. Well, she did, and she's made my day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

AND here's a peek at my book trailer:

Believe it or not, Sandy, she made me cry with happiness :-) She made my day, and I really needed it today of all days. Btw, Maria is a wonderful reviewer. Have you checked her blog? There's a link on this post to her blog, which is called "Flair".

There is no greater reward than to find out that your writing actually touched another person in some way, whether it made them think, made them cry or made them scream. When that happens, you know you've succeeded as a writer. Congrats!
