My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story, by Winnie D Pagora, is a story that will make you really be inside all of your emotions. The novel centers around an eighteen year old girl, Tina, who is navigating life as best she can with deep-seated trauma. Many traumatic themes play a role here, but I didn’t feel like it was over-the-top or unbelievable. These subject matters addressed are things that really happen to people and my heart broke so many times. The author writes beautifully, perfect pacing and characters were very well developed. It made it easy to really connect with them. Despite the sad topics, this is an absolutely beautiful story and I am so thankful that I read it. I recommend to anyone. These topics deserve more spotlight.

Unclutter
By: Winnie D. Pagora

This is a very heavy book that covers many sensitive topics – including sexual abuse and self-harm. However, this is written in such a raw way that it really appeals to all of your emotions as you read. Winnie Pagora does a fantastic tale of taking these hard topics and really give a voice to the victims.
This story tells about the parts of surviving abuse that are not pretty, they are ugly and hard, However, they are the parts that are also beautiful. It shows what the cost of survival is worth. This book gives a very true look at the legal system and what those that are abuse face when it comes to receiving any form of justice. I do wish that the end of this book didn’t seem so abrupt. But I do definitely recommend picking this story up and giving it a read. It sheds a wonderful life on those who have gone through abuse.

Unclutter: A Survivor's Story (Inner Voice, #1)Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story by Winnie D. Pagora
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a YA story which has been very well thought out and written. The author deals with subjects in this story that are very sensitive and could trigger some people such as sexual abuse, self harm and the after effects of being a victim of abuse. The author takes us on a journey with Tina Lauren as she struggles to find her way in the world while trying to come to terms with the abuse in her past and the mental scars she has been left with. The author does an amazing job of allowing the reader to feel and experiences emotions that Tina feels. One thing I loved about this book was the fact even though the subject was sensitive and could be a hard read, I loved how determined Tina was and how she was determined to not like her abusers or the abuse she suffered control her forever.
As hard as it was for me to read I was unaware of the way abuse could effect people in ways such as not liking to be touched. Tina knows her boundaries and won’t let anyone cross them no matter the repercussions of her actions cause or people’s opinions of her.

She treads a fine line between caring about what people think of her and being true to herself. When your a young woman being normal and fitting in is all you want and when you can’t have that everything becomes a struggle.
This was an inspiring story which I enjoyed very much.

Unclutter is a raw and compelling YA debut novel. It shows how the victim can take back your life and you can fight back. It is also a strong message of hope. This novel is a complex tale that explores the difficult subject of sexual abuse and self-harm. Pagota boldly tackles the hard and traumatic themes with dignity. Even though it’s a young adult story, adults will also like reading this too.

Unclutter is the first book in the Inner Voice series and is a YA that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is a raw emotional journey that had me tearing up a few times. Its about heartbreak, betrayal, and learning how to love yourself. This is a fairly new author to me but holy cow did she write one heck of a story. There may be some triggers but keep reading its worth the read. I highly recommend anyone especially women to read this book. I’m looking forward to seeing what this author brings us next.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story is the first book in the Inner Voice series by Winnie D. Pagora is raw and emotional story about overcoming trauma while also learning to ‘live’ again. This story is heavy, dark, gritty, and thought-provoking in parts. It contains sensitive subject matter that could be triggering for some readers- so read the TWs before diving in (topics such as sexual abuse/child abuse, rape, self-harm/cutting, mental health issues, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, betrayal, shaming, gaslighting, domestic abuse, bullying- and more).
This story is shocking, heart-wrenching, and touching, all wrapped up in a dramatic package. I really felt for Tina and what she went through. But I got to watch her, develop, grow, and overcome over the course of the story, which gave the story some extra depth.
The heavy subject matter was well-balanced with some touching and tender moments, some light-hearted scenes, true friendship, resilience, strength of character, and a lot of heart.
The story is quite ‘wordy’ in parts, and contains a lot of character, with quite a lot going on- which made for a lot to process. At times the ‘wordiness and ‘heavy’ aspects slowed the flow of the story down considerably- but this didn’t detract much from my overall opinion of the book.
This appears to be Ms. Pagora’s debut novel and is also the first book in a series- so I am intrigued to see what else Ms. Pagora can/will do.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winnie D. Pagora!

If you can get past those, you will find a great story. This is a well written story about trauma and survival. This is a story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that just kept going. The characters pull you into their world and I had no problems picturing myself with them. They will pull at your heart strings for sure. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. You don’t want to miss this one. I enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

This is a book that hit home in more ways than one. It was hard to read at times. I just set it down for a bit and then kept going. i am glad that I did. It is truly a book that needed to be written. There are topics in the book that are worthy of major trigger warnings. Tina went through a lot and went through an incredible journey that is not easy for any survivor. It is an incredibly well-written story that I couldn’t put down and only did when my emotions told me too. The characters were well developed. Thank you for sharing that story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beware: This novel tackles sensitive subjects, such as sexual abuse and self-harm.
Wow. Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story is a YA novel and is a raw and compelling must-read. It is a complex tale that explores the difficult subject of abuse. Winnie has cleverly woven multi layered threads together giving us a compelling read. She boldly tackles hard and traumatic themes and does so with dignity.
This is a story of betrayal in one of its harshest forms. It is a story of survival but what is the cost to get there. It is a story of one young woman who must look at herself and learn to love herself once again.
Tina is vulnerable and broken, in pain and has lost a part of herself but she is strong and resilient even if she doesn’t feel like it at the start. This feisty young woman is a SURVIVOR! With help she fights back and slowly reclaims herself even if it is a new self.
This is a powerful YA novel, and I recommend that women of any age read it. It shows just how unfair the legal system, the world, harsh truths and perceptions women face in the event of abuse and their attackers. Some want to shove their heads in the sand and others want to shout it from the roof tops but either way there are injustices in the world.

“Now, I declare war on my abusers—their time is up.”

Eighteen-year-old Tina Lauren is an outcast with wounds that run deep—she’s always needed to make the outside hurt more than the inside does. She hates being touched, her clothes don’t fit, and neither does she. But when Strollfield’s teen heartthrob, Nicholas Parker, crosses a line and Tina retaliates in public, she is thrust into a harsh spotlight that reveals her long-buried scars. Branded a liar and a freak at every turn, Tina faces revenge and betrayal, slander, and bullying—till the voices in her head threaten to drown her. To move forward, Tina must confront her past once and for all. Will Tina discover her true inner voice? Will she be able to speak up for herself and others like her? Or will a culture of shame and silence let their abusers win?

Navigating social media trials and sleuthing, family secrets and inner demons, friendships broken and built, first love and self-love, Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story is a powerful debut novel packed with shocking turns, as well as illuminating truths about trauma and survival.

Content guidance: This novel tackles sensitive subjects, such as sexual abuse and self-harm.

I chose Woman Unbroken for the cover art. Don’t get me wrong, the synopsis was absolutely intriguing as well. This was one of those novels that draws you in instantly with vivid storytelling and really captivating characters. It was not far into the book before I was really rooting for our main character and cared about her as if she were someone I knew personally. This was a book with a lot of depth and emotion, one that definitely took me for a ride. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was a wonderfully written novel with an emotional, empowering and inspirational storyline which had me hooked from start to finish. Former teen actress and model Devorah Fields had a chaotic upbringing with her father being a former Hollywood heavyweight turned con artist who is now in prison, and her English born actress mother, who has returned to England. Devorah is now in hiding from her estranged and abusive husband at her family’s old house in the Malibu hills. However, with every creak of her childhood home she fears that her husband has found her. Devorah has been left feeling scared, lost and lonely with only her precious cat Fergie for company, as she tries to come to terms with her past. She is determined to revive the talented young woman that she was, but first she has to come to the realisation that she had abandoned herself. This took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this as the narrative really made me feel totally immersed in the story. The setting and the characters came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, and I felt particularly engaged with Devorah and felt what she was feeling. The story does deal with some sensitive issues involving domestic abuse, but does so with sensitivity and honesty. Overall the message that comes from the story is one of inspiration and woman’s empowerment.

Woman Unbroken by Alexandra Fleder is an emotional woman’s fiction story and my first read by this author. I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but the cover captured my attention enough that I wanted to find out what lay beneath.
This book gave exactly what it promised- a moving story about rediscovering oneself after heartache and pain- and learning to start over.
Devorah has been through so much, and the author writes in such a way that I couldn’t help but feel for her and everything she had been/was going through. I couldn’t help investing in her and the outcome of her story.
Empowering and inspirational.
Happy Reading.

Thank you, Alexandra Fleder!

Woman Unbroken is an emotional story from start to finish and is a well written tale.
It is and inspirational story about Women’s empowerment.
Woman Unbroken is a heartbreaking and aching tale. It is an emotionally charged tale of shame, fear, hate, love, loss, guilt, hope, want, need, anger, embarrassment and forgiveness and so much more.
It is raw and broke my heart at times. It is full of pain, drama, angst, tension, suspense and a crushed and tormented soul.
Devorah has lived with pain and fear all her life but is now determined to take her life back and rewrite a new future.
Journey along as one woman who finally pulls herself out of the hell, she has been through to find a new her. One who comes through a terrifying time and can finally breathe again. It is about grieving the loss of oneself but coming out stronger than ever.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This for me was a very powerful and at times hard read because I related to so much of the story. Not the being famous part but the escaping from domestic abuse.
The author does an incredible job of allowing the reader an inside look into what actual happens to a person when they leave an abusive relationship. You are shown the pain, the fear, the loneliness, the inability to trust anyone or even have confidence in your own judgement. And the hardest part is having to rebuild your life and find yourself again after you were pretty much destroyed mentally and physically. The author dealt with this story in a way that was respectful but also allowing the reader to see that just because you leave the relationship doesn’t mean the trauma ends there. You lose so much of yourself during the time in a relationship like that, that the hardest part is rebuilding and finding yourself again.

Devorah Fields used to be a model and a young actress. Her family life wasn’t plain sailing however as her father was a movie producer and con artist and her mother was a British actress. To get away from the environment at home she jumped at the chance of marrying her husband. I mean what could go wrong. He was handsome and so caring. It was a match made in heaven.
Fast forward and Devorah’s father is in prison, her mother and left to return to England and her Prince charming turned out to be a monster.
She had finally find the strength and courage to leave him and has returned to her own family home. Now she has to figure out what she is going to do with her life. How is she going to support herself? How can she cope with the anxiety and fear of her ex husband finding her? And how can she rebuild her life when she lost so much of herself that she doesn’t even know who she is anymore.

This is a story about one woman’s journey to reclaim her life and to remember who she was and who she wants to become again. This was a very empowering story and for me personally I really enjoyed seeing Devorah’s journey to reclaim her life and find herself again.

Devorah Fields, a former teen actress and model, is hiding out from her estranged, abusive husband in her childhood home in the Malibu hills. With every odd creak, she fears the worst—her husband’s return.

Her father, a former Hollywood heavyweight turned con artist, is serving time in federal prison. Her mother, an English born actress, has fled to her home country out of shame and embarrassment.

All that remains is the family’s old house (the scene of Devorah’s chaotic upbringing), her precious cat Fergie, and a young stepmother who won’t stop calling.

Devorah is scared, lost and lonely. She’s also determined to revive the talented young woman she once was, but first, she must come to terms with the truth of her past and admit her greatest sin—that she’s abandoned herself.

The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis – Review by Jamie Burns

The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis is an amazing historical fiction book. Historical fiction is not in my top five favorite genres, BUT let me tell you, I LOVED this book! Lewis did an amazing job collecting background information for over three years, she talked with Michelle Naget and studied french documents to fully immerse the reader in Michelle’s story. Michelle was not even twelve when Germany invaded her village and tore her world apart making her once peaceful life full of fear and hardships. Michelle and her family faced many challenges but never lost faith. Her steadfast faith inspires me and makes me want to try better with my own faith. I cannot praise this book enough! It is a must-read!

She enlists the help of friends and family to share the things she loves with the rest of the world. This is such a sweet book with lessons for young and old. It shows how you can enjoy the things you love even if others don’t agree. I love that in a social media-filled world, this book shows how children can enjoy the great outdoors.

I really like the Amaleigha stories. While I do not have little children I think these books would be enjoyed by children under the age of 9. In this story Amaleigha decides it is important that the school library doesn’t have enough books for non English speaking children and sets up a plan to get more books. Amaleigha is always helping others or making them feel better about themselves. Such a great way to show children how important it is to care for others.

This book is a great feel-good way to bring magic into your everyday life. It’s also a guide to simply find your way to bring yourself back to taking care of yourself in this world that has a tendency to suck the life right out of you. It isn’t a super hocus pocus flashy book about casting spells and cursing people. This is a book that is more about finding the magic that is all around us in the world and that anyone can harness. As a pagan myself I found it to be a beautiful reminder to slow down and really embrace the beautiful and magical world we live in.

Practically Pagan: An Alternative Guide To Magical Living
By: Maria DeBlassie
Review by: Susan Ratchford
5 Stars

I have been trying to focus more on self love recently and this was just the book I needed to read! I learned alot about myself and wholeheartedly agreed with everything DeBlassie writes about. This book is extremely motivational and uplifting with such a powerful message it brought tears to my eyes. This is not the first book I’ve read by DeBlassie, and I am in love with her tone, style and passion. She is wonderfully talented and has an almost ethereal way of writing. This book truly made me more self aware of things I’ve never given a second thought. I am going to take a lot of her advice to heart and “ Do one thing each day” that makes me happy and believe that it is OK to prioritize myself. Thank you so much Maria DeBlassie for telling me exactly what I needed to hear. I really think your book found me in a time where I thought I was lost. This book is a must read!

I absolutely loved this book. One hundred percent, I recommend this to anyone trying to find their way back to internal happiness and internal peace. The tone of the book to me feels like a patient mother or teaching showing her daughters how to push back societal expectations of women to learn how to find what benefits happiness and peace. She talks about finding your inner Divine Feminine, as well as taking pleasure in simple things in the world, and decluttering your soul as well as your life. I don’t think I’ve highlighted a book so much. I know I’ll be getting a physical copy soon and re reading it over and over again, and trying my best to pull from it to let go of the things that hold me down. Every one should read this, even if you don’t believe in Paganism. There’s not a lot of theology or ideology in the book, it’s simply said, about living the best life you can in a world that doesn’t prioritize the individual or individual happiness.
