WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE                 ...A Review...

Central California

 

It’s true !

It’s True that dreams come true ! And I, with the assistance of a marvelous guide, Linda Lee Ratto, have just shared the experience by reading her book of almost the same title! Where Dreams Come True is not simply a story that, at times, brings a lump to one’s throat or a tear to the eye. It is also a most pleasant inundation of the senses. The aromas, tastes, sounds and touches in addition to the sights are at the same time enchanting and realistic. The book is not only a good read about growth within a loving family, but also an experience that allows you to truly appreciate what some folks call the simple things. In fact, it might be said that it teaches one how to live more fully. This is accomplished by Linda’s taking your hand and mind for a stroll through Life with a family that will live on in your heart. It will undoubtedly affect your attitude and relationship with others. A wonderful book for all ages.

"I've been very happy to read this book. It’s such a tender and moving story, and its told by the author using a lovely, simple way of writing. As soon as I finished it, I suddenly found out a tear had fallen from my eyes. Although, it was not easy to read it at first, because I thought it was a book that could be better for young readers than for me. But the deeper I was going into the story of Sarah, the more I was getting involved in her emotions.

 

As any other child, she is in touch with the simple things of daily life: colours, perfumes, the taste of the delicious things prepared by her mother and her grandmother with love and care. When she is at home, everything all around her is full of the magical atmosphere of love.  At the end of the book she finally manages to let this love go beyond the family walls, outside, so that at least everybody is able to see how much special she is. Everybody can finally see her for what she really is despite her disability.

 

I definitely loved her character. Sarah, by chance, is also the name of my baby! :-) Sarah succeeds not to loose her faith in dreams, by using her strength, and I'm absolutely convinced this is the power of children, a power very often adults loose while the time passes by, a power we undoubtedly should try to preserve."
