Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if they don’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.

When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:

For One More Day

Denise Moon

 Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN: 9781432771935

For One More Day is the powerful and emotional story of one woman’s effort to rebuild a life shattered by child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and alcoholism. As an adult, the author was drawn to dysfunctional relationships and  tried to take her own life. At her lowest moment, she asked out loud, “Dear God, for how long shall I suffer?” A miracle came in the response she heard, not as a physical voice, but as a message delivered directly to her heart and soul: “If you had known and believed that I loved you at all, you would have never suffered.” This marked the beginning of the painful and difficult journey to turn around her life and overcome her addiction by surrendering to God. Although the names in this biography have been changed to protect others, the story is unflinchingly true and is ultimately an offering of hope to any and all who have also suffered unspeakable pain. For One More Day is worthy of the highest recommendation.

Love Child

A.M. Torres

 Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN: 9781432764111

When life is violent, it can be hard to continue on. “Love Child” follows the tragedy of Tommy as he copes with his suicidal, depressed mother and the abuse that is entering his life as he finds himself under the control of a cruel relative. Seeking to protect his sister from the brutality of it all, Tommy sees no end in sight. A tragic story of standing up for oneself and his loved ones, “Love Child” is a fine and very much recommended read.
