The introduction was boring but I found the beginning of the author’s story a good read. I am, however, unable to read the rest of the book. In the chapter called The Crocheted Heart, the author completely conflates knitting, crocheting and quilting. She has not a clue which is which or how they are accomplished. As a practitioner of two of those three arts, I found it so disconcerting that she didn’t care enough to research them, even within her family, that I had to abandon the book. Too bad. I never got to the part about becoming starlight. But if I can’t trust her on the little things, I can’t trust her on the big things. I wish she would do this book over, make it a little less self-pitying, and get more of the details of her analogies correct. Thank you for at least letting me start it.
There are no words for how good this book is. Sharon's story is amazing and I am so happy she took Wayne Dyer's advice and wrote it for everyone. She will touch many lives with this book and I feel honored to have read it.
What a beautiful reading experience! I am not a religious person but I would consider myself spiritual and this brought me to tears on a number of occasions. While there is talk of God, it's a more generic God which is good because it didn't feel overly preachy to me.
Becoming Starlight would be a good gift for someone struggling with the very questions discussed in its' pages. Is there more to this than just our mortal lives on earth? Is there a "heaven"? Should we fear death? For people open to the spiritual, it would be a reassuring read and could provide great comfort, especially while grieving the loss of a loved one.
Thank you, NetGalley for this e-book in exchange for my honest review!
