Sabrina Peace-Hughes
" A story of overcoming obstacles, this book reads like fiction. It is a truly inspirational story for anyone, but I especially recommend the book for women who have had challenging relationships with their own mothers. This is an uplifting, encouraging and fast read! I couldn't put it down. Great book! "

Erin
" I read the book. It was a very inspirational book. It gave so much insight to a person life and how you can overcome the obstacles in your life. After reading the book, it has given me a more positive outlook on my life. If Claudia can endure those trials and tribulations in her life and become an inspirational person then her book should be read by so many other people to inspire them. "

Jennifer
" What I appreciate about this autobiography is that Claudia is transparent and honest. In her introduction, she says this her story as ""she remembers it."" That wasn't a disclaimer to gloss over her story. It was still very raw and a brave story. The reader can experience Claudia's hurts, failings, successes and triumphs. Many times I had to put the book down because I could feel the emotion in every word. Even though the title mentions motherhood, this book is a life story for men and women of all ages. This is book is more than an autobiographical story, it is a testimony. Claudia wrote it in a way that shares her life and the truths she discovered along the way. I was inspired at her life transformation and how her story reveals the challenges and triumphs in reconciling one's past and being fully present and successful in one's ""present."" Because it is written as a testimony, I believe the message will live on in every person who chooses to pay forward what they learned from Claudia sharing her life. "

"This book is a must read! It?s a true testimony of how God?s grace and mercy has kept the writer from self destruction even through the roughest of times. She opens up in detail about her private life and what she?s been through as a child up through adulthood searching for love and expectance. If you are from Terre Haute, Indiana you will appreciate how Claudia brings back childhood memories. She will leave you reminiscing about how life was back then.

This book is a page turner as she takes you on a journey of emotions. You will laugh, cry and be absolutely in shock. Each chapter will leave you wondering how Claudia got through it all as she rekindles her relationship with the Lord and learns how to depend on his word. By the end of the book you will be amazed at how Claudia rebound, got control of her life and started a family of her own.

Claudia is a person that if you know her. You will never forget her! She is an inspiration to us all. "

Nicole
"This book touches you to the bone, if you can reach the end of the book without shedding a tear then you have no emotions. It is also inspiring and lets you see that you can succeed under difficult circumstances."

Nadia
"This book was truly heaven-sent, as I won it near the anniversary of my mother's passing. Claudia shares her story with a realness that truly captivates the audience. The way she and her family allow their faith to carry them through the circumstances of life is inspiring. This book has caused me to re-evaluate somethings in life. Thats what a good book does, it entertains while simutaneously makes you want to do and be better. She is a great writer (loved the unexpected poems sprinkled throughout) and without a doubt a wonderful storyteller."

Traci
"This is a phenomenal book. This is the kind of book that is hard to put down. It is inspirational and thought provoking. The details provided by Claudia Parker made me think, cheer, laugh and cry. I was speechless after reading the last page. Claudia Parker connects with the reader by sharing details that most people are not willing to share about their adversities. It has renewed my faith that anything is possible in the face of extraordinary challenges. ""Becoming a Mother While Losing My Own"" has inspired me to not allow negative circumstances to run my life.

Claudia Parker taught me things about myself just by sharing her story in this book. She makes it easy to see yourself in her great moments and difficult moments. I am more motivated to step up and improve myself spiritually, mentally and physically. This book has shown me that God works with us through the good and bad times. Her spiritual maturity and encouragement throughout the book has helped to awaken me to pursue my purpose in life and treasure the people that I have in my life. The inspiration and motivation of this book has caused me to challenge myself to write two books before the end of 2013.

There are some tough life decisions that I had to make as I read this book. Claudia Parker's narrative had a way of encouraging me through all of those decisions. As a result, I trusted God more to provide for my wife and me as we decided to start our own business. This story gave me an extra nudge to tell my wife that she does not have to go back to work if she desires to stay home with our children. Finally, I am motivated to overcome a 50 pound lifting restriction that a doctor placed on me years ago. I am hitting the gym to gradually build my muscle strength. "
